Is it permissible to give a gift to a disbeliever to win his heart?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is it permissible to give a gift to a disbeliever to win his heart?

Answer:
It is permissible to give a gift to a disbeliever, and it is permissible for a disbeliever to give a gift to a Muslim, which the Muslim accepts. There is no prohibition in gifts, provided they are from permissible wealth; there is no barrier between a disbeliever and a Muslim, or between a Muslim and his Muslim brother.
