All Holy Books teach us that it is not up to us to judge. That is something that should be left to God; Only He is the Judge, for only He penetrates into the deepest corners of our being.
If someone asks us for something, then we cannot judge that person or look down on him or her. After all, we as human beings are equal to both the rich and the poor. And we often don't know the deepest reasons why someone asks for something.
Nevertheless, we must not choose the profession which is still a normal phenomenon in many cultures: beggar. Bahá'u'lláh wrote in His 'Hidden Words': "O MY SERVANT! The most inferior people are those who do not produce fruit on earth. Such people are truly counted among the dead, your dead are better in God's eyes than these useless and unworthy souls." (Hidden Words, part 2, from Persian, number 81.)
