Can I give money to a man on my way to work, regardless of his religion?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
I found on my way to office a man asking monetary help from people. But I am in doubt about his religion. My heart goes for him. And sometimes I give him. Is it ok?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 560/558/H=06/1436)

If you doubt about a person’s religion, but his condition shows that he is a needy person then it is lawful to give him financial help.

Allah knows Best!
