It was narrated that Qubaisah Bin Mukhariq said: I undertook a financial responsibility; then I came to the Prophet and asked him for help concerning that. He said: Hold on; o Qubaisah! When we get some charity we will give you some. Then the Messenger of Allah said: O Qubaisah; charity is not permissible except for one of three: A man who undertakes a financial responsibility; so it is permissible for him to be given charity until he finds means to make him independent and to suffice him; a man who was stricken by calamity and his wealth was destroyed; so it is permissible for him to ask for help until he has enough to keep him going; them he should refrain from asking; and a man who is stricken with poverty and three wise men from among his own people testily that so-and-so is in desperate need; then it is permissible for him to ask for help until he finds means to make him independent and to suffice him. Asking for help in cases other than these; O Qubaisah; is unlawful; and the one who takes it is consuming it unlawfully.
