[www.keralites.net] Professional Millionair Begger Caught in Saudi Arabia

 

 
 
 
Saudi police arrested an Arab man for begging although he had in excess of SR1.2 million (Dh1.2 million) and an expensive four-wheel vehicle. Police said the unnamed man, a resident of a nearby Gulf country, is visiting the Gulf kingdom on a tourist visa with his wife and three children, adding that he was found to be staying in a luxury furnished apartment in the Western Saudi port of Yanbu.
 
�We found large sums of cash with him and receipts for bank deposits…he had a total of more than SR1.2 million and an expensive four-wheel car carrying plates issued from another Gulf country,� police spokesman Colonel Fahd Al Ghannam said, quoted by the Saudi Arabic language daily Okaz. �We also found that he is staying with his family at a luxury furnished apartment…he was arrested after he was caught begging in the street.�
 
Begging is strictly banned in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf oil producers. A large number of beggars, mostly foreigners, have been arrested and deported by these countries.
 

Begging
 
Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) reported:  Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: �A Miskeen (needy) is not the one who can be turned away with a date-fruit or two, or a morsel or two. The true Miskeen is one who, despite his poverty, abstains from begging�.  [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
 
 
"...And whoever abstains from asking others for some financial help, Allah will give him and save him from asking others, Allah will make him self-sufficient." (Bukhari)
 
 
Abu Hurairah related that the Prophet said: He who makes a habit of asking from others reaches out for a brand of Fire, so let him refrain or continue, as he desires. (Muslim)
 
 
Hamza, son of 'Abdullah, reported on the authority of his father that the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: When a man is always begging from people. He would meet Allah (in a state) that there would be no flesh on his face. (Sahih Muslim 2263, 2264, 2265)
 

Abu Hurairah reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: He who begs the riches of others to increase his own is asking only for live coals, so let him ask a little or much. (Sahih Muslim 2266)
 
 
Abu Hurairah is reported to have heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) as saying: It is better for one among you to bring a load of firewood on his back and give charity out of it (and satisfy his own need) and be independent of people, than that he should beg from people, whether they give him anything or refuse him. Verily the upper hand is better than the lower hand, and begin (charity) with your dependants. (Sahih Muslim 2267)
