Question
As a charity organization, we distribute food products to the needy. Often, people whom we did not call see that there is a distribution and come to take. Is it permissible to refuse them and tell them it is not intended for them, or must we give to everyone who comes?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
You have the right to determine who receives and to refuse those who are not included in your list.
