Question
A person going to pray the Shacharit prayer and hear the reading of the Megillah on Purim is approached by a distinguished poor person on the way. Can he give gifts to the poor, or since it is customary to give gifts to the poor only after the reading of the Megillah, should he wait until after the Shacharit prayer and the reading of the Megillah?
Answer
Do not wait
Source
Due to the principle that the diligent perform mitzvot at the earliest opportunity
