The fourth question of Fatwa No. ( 6787 )
Q4: Is it permissible for a Muslim to give a gift to the People of the Book, and is it permissible to give a portion of the 'Id sacrifice to a person from the People of the Book?
A4: It is permissible to give gifts to a disbeliever and to feed him from the 'Id sacrifice and voluntary charity, provided he is not at war with us; for Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Mumtahanah 60:8] And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly.
لاَ يَنْهَاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُقَاتِلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجُوكُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِكُمْ أَنْ تَبَرُّوهُمْ وَتُقْسِطُوا إِلَيْهِمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ
