There may be others, but the ones we know of immediately are the religions that
acknowledge some responsibility to the "Judeo-Christian" Bible, such as Judaism
and Christianity for example.
In the case of Judaism, the question doesn't accurately describe The Bible's attitude
on the subject. Concerning Jews who feel an obligation to live according to Jewish
law, the Torah doesn't "ask" them to practice charity. In Judaism, the support of the
poor, as well as widows, orphans, travelers, and Levites, is a positive commandment,
of a rank equal to repentance and prayer. Jews are not "asked" to help them. Jews
are commanded to support them, whether or not the Jew has "a good heart", and
whether or not the Jew feels that those people deserve the charity.
