The ruling on accepting a gift from a disbeliever on the occasion of his religious festival

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible to accept a gift from disbelievers on the occasion of their New Year or Christmas?

Answer:
If it is for a religious occasion of theirs, do not accept it and do not eat from their food. However, if it is not for a religious occasion, there is nothing wrong with it, provided it is permissible. Yes.
