#When a person is saying birchot kriyat shema or shema and a poor person asks for tzedaka, he shouldn't interrupt to give him, yet the minhag is to be lenient even for birchot kriyat shema to give the tzedaka.

Panim Meirot 1:103 implies otherwise as he writes that if the money didn't yet go into the hands of the gabbay it can be given to the relative.</ref> | |||
