Question

Hello, a poor person who walks around the synagogue during Pesukei Dezimra and the Shema and its blessings, is it permissible to give him charity then?

Answer

Hello and blessings,

If it disturbs your concentration in prayer, do not give, but if it does not disturb your concentration in prayer, you may give. However, during the first part of the Shema, do not give in any case.
