Asslamoalaikum Mufti sahab. I had some sadaqah money (a very small amount)with me. When I went out to shop today I found a beggar (a very old man) there. I gave him this money. Later I realized that he was a non-muslim. I would like to ask you if I have donated the sadaqah money properly or did I do something wrong without enquiring if the person was a muslim?

Valid as long as it was not wajib Saqadah.
