How are you going to reason out this phrase "The end justifies the means" when it comes to giving. For example, you really desire to help but your means of helping those in need is ZERO as in nothing. So you rob someone of his money and give it to the one you are wishing to help with. The objective is good but we all know that stealing is wrong and is a sin. So what is your opinion on this please. Will you do the same or just won't do anything?
The end indeed justifies the means, no one really cares about the process and how you became who you are in the current world, Most renowned men in the current have shady pasts but the people don't care. And to your premise just because you want to help someone doesn't mean you have to commit a crime to help that person, Its like the saying robbing Peter to Paul. Morally that's wrong and shouldn't be condone unless its a politicians.
