Yeah but if ther’es the doubt, then how is the sin on ur shoulders?? I always thought it was better to give them the money, give them the benefit of the doubt, coz even “legitimate” charities, u never know, may use ur moneys for haram things…
I don't know about your state, but here, by looking at their drunk faces and the way they talk and walk, their eyes, their clothes etc, I doubt if they won't go buy a beer. Sometimes you can just tell. And if you are in doubt, it's better not to do something, in my opinion. Ofcourse everyone is different. Some people say the glass is half empty while some say it's half full.
First of all what kind of title is this for a thread?
“Freakin lord”!
And secondly, please do give such rides to strangers in the future. I am extremly proud of you. To top it off, you did a wonderful job giving him your home phone number. Couldn’t be any smarter. You showed some smart decision making skills right there. Keep it up.
Now I’m not sure how I could possibly reach up to your level of intelligence.
:k:
Well, here, there’s a lot of Muslims/desis begging. If you go to Jackson Heights, most of the beggars are women with children. There’s also this one guy, daari, topee, etc, he’s carrying around a bag and has a blown up photograph of his daughter after she’d had acid thrown on her face and body…and then there’s the ppl on the train, they’ll come to ask for money to eat coz tey’re pregnant or say “im trying to get a job, but im hungry” etc…
the guy called a couple times when i was sleeping...n he left msgs saying...call me back at this number...this is where i am rite now...i wanted to talk to u some... never again am i gonna do something like that! jeeeeez
i think sohail is right .. just pick up the phone when he calls n say wrong number .. he will stop but if you won't pick up he is gona just keep calling you .. :( ..
