Accepting a gift from a kaafir

Question: 11564

Is it permissible for a Muslim brother to accept a gift from his kaafir or mushrik brother, or not?.

Answer

Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. To proceed:

It s permissible for a Muslim to accept a gift from his brother even if he is a kaafir or a mushrik, because that will soften his heart and make him more open to being guided to Islam.

And Allaah is the Source of strength.
