Ruling on Accepting Gifts from Polytheists
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We have a mosque being built, and next to it are Christians. If the Christians want to donate money for the construction of the mosque, are the Muslims required to accept the money from them?
Answer:
If there is a condition that contradicts the Shari'ah, then no. As for a pure donation, there is nothing wrong with it, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) accepted many gifts from the polytheists.
