Question

Is it allowed or is it good to give charity to strangers asking for money outside and inside the masjid?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

It is permissible. [1] However the management of the masjid should also be consulted.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
