Please provide the Hadith warning against begging without being needy.
Answer
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
“He who begs merely to increase his wealth, is actually asking for hot coals, so [he should decide whether to] increase or decrease the coals”
(Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 1041)
Kindly see here for more narrations prohibiting begging.
And Allah Ta’ala knows best
