Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible for a Muslim to accept a gift from disbelievers if it is given on the occasion of their festivals?
Answer:
It is not permissible to accept gifts from disbelievers that are given on the occasion of their festivals, because this is consuming wealth by an unlawful means and encouraging them in their false festivals, which are falsehood. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Furqan 25:72] meaning they do not attend the festivals of the disbelievers. Yes.
