Begging, boycotting products and bribes : [begging and street performance]

Fatawa Question

Salaams Dr. Monzer, pls. help replying the following question : Assalaamu 'Alaykum, I am wondering about the status of street performing (i. e. 'busking'). My parents claim it is a form of begging, and I've heard that begging is a form of 'fawahish' (shameful deeds). But what if it is done only for the sake of fun, and the money earned as a form of 'bonus', or instead street-performing as a form of work ? Also, does its status depend on the type of act done ? Wael
