Giving beggars zakaat

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: My question is about zakaah. In the UK, we have some muslim women begging outside the mosque. Can we give zakah to these women?

Bismillaah

A: If you feel that they are eligible for zakaat then you may assist them.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
