Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the Prophetic guidance regarding accepting gifts? Did the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) accept gifts?

Answer:
Yes, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to accept gifts and give thanks for them, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Exchange gifts, and you will love one anotherتهادوا تحابوا
and he said:
A gift removes resentmentإن الهدية تسل السخينة
. This means it removes hatred from hearts and fosters love between those who exchange gifts. He (peace and blessings be upon him) used to accept gifts and give thanks for them, but he did not take charity; rather, he would take and accept gifts. Yes.
