Those of us who read CIC decisions regularly come across this
phrase which IC M M Ansari inserts at the foot of all his decisions.
""If you don't ask, you don't get." - Mahatma Gandhi"
These views must be read in the spirit of what the Prophet (of Islam, peace be
on him) said
1) "He who begs without need is like a person holding a burning piece of coal
in his hand."
2) "Anyone who begs from people in order to increase his wealth will have his
face scratched on the Day of Resurrection, and will eat burning stones from
Hell"
So think twice before RTI-ing, do you really need to beg for Charity
('sadaqah') from the State ?
