The Ruling on Begging

Question
What is the ruling on begging?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: A person must work to support themselves. If they have enough for their daily sustenance, it is forbidden for them to beg. However, if they do not have work or daily sustenance, it is permissible for them to ask others according to their needs. And God knows best.
