Rav Bentzion Mutsafi was asked by one of his students if it is ok to say good morning to a woman collecting tzedaka money.
The student specified that this woman sits outside the shul collecting tzedaka for her family greeting every person with a 'good morning'. He said he tried to give her money when he can, but he is not able to give her tzedaka every single day. He wanted to know if he can at least say 'good morning' to her.
Rav Mutsafi responded that it is prohibited to greet the woman with a 'good morning', as it is immodest. Rav Mutsafi added that this is a new phenomenon, and a strange one at that, that women have become tzedaka collectors.
