Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) gives a gift to a Muslim, does he accept it absolutely, or does he not accept it unless he is hoping for his Islam, for example?
Answer:
He accepts it if he is in need of it. He accepts it unless he fears that it will be a cause for him to be drawn to kufr (disbelief) or invited to kufr (disbelief), in which case he does not accept it. As for if he does not fear any bad consequences from accepting it, he accepts it. Yes.
