Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a disbeliever gives a Muslim a gift that bears their symbol, which is the cross, if they are Christians, is it permissible to accept it?

Answer:
No, one does not accept the symbol of the Christians, nor does one carry it. Yes.
