If you do this and you have access to the money or indirectly benefit from it (e.g. the "friend" buys drugs with the money, sells, and the profits are laundered back to you), or you're funding a criminal or terrorist organisation, it's a criminal offence.
If you are just a nice person wishing to give a portion of money to someone you know who needs it, then it's allowed, but they'll be taxed on the value of the shares gifted, and on the dividends.
