Reply To: Refusing someone who's collecting tzedakah

2qwerty: I think this is not so clear cut as you are making it sound. There is a concept (halacha i think?) that if a rich person becomes poor and is collecting money, even though he’s poor but he’s used to walking on velvet, one should provide that for him. Providing someone with a means to kill himself is not a form of tzedakkah. Rather give him food or even better, a job.
