Ruling on Accepting a Gift from a Non-Muslim Brother
✒ Fatwa by the Saudi Permanent Committee for Islamic Rulings
◈ A Muslim Accepting a Gift from a Disbelieving Brother
It is permissible for a Muslim to accept a gift from his non-Muslim (disbelieving or polytheist) brother.
✔ Doing so can serve the purpose of winning hearts (تأليف القلوب).
✔ It may become a means of guiding the disbelieving relative towards Islam.
This act falls under the broader teachings of kindness and good relations, particularly when it might lead to positive outcomes in faith.
