On the occasion of the Last Hajj when the Prophet was distributing the offerings, two persons came to him and requested that they too be given something. He saw those two people were able-bodied and strong and he said with displeasure:
If you want I could give you these offerings but must know that the wealth and healthy who could earn their own livelihood, have no share in it.
This tradition makes it clear that offerings and charity are not meant for those who have the capacity to eke out their living.
From this tradition, we infer that without looking at the means of livelihood of a person we could not deny him merely because he is strong and able-bodied. Sometimes people inspite of being strong-bodied, are unskilled and can not make out their own living. This tradition tells that such persons have their share in offerings and charity. They could not be denied of their share.
From the above tradition we understand that a person looking healthy and strong could be jobless, or even if he had a job, the earnings from it could be insufficient to make both ends meet, and in that ease, he could be helped with the offerings and charity. Today there are many young men who are prepared to work hard but cannot be gainfully self-employed for want of capital. If they are helped with requisite capital, they can start their own business or an industry, and gain economic stability. But our community has no such master plans to help these young enterprising members of our society.
