عقوبة التسول — نظام مكافحة التسول

Professional begging, inciting it or helping in it: imprisonment up to six months or a fine up to SAR 50,000. Organized-group begging or managing beggars: up to one year or SAR 100,000. A non-Saudi is deported and barred from returning except for Hajj or Umrah. Doubled on repeat, begging money confiscated or an equal fine imposed, and the more severe penalty applies.
