Ruling on Accepting Gifts from Non-Muslim Relatives in Islam

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.
