It is permissible for a Muslim to take money that comes to him without asking or desiring it, based on what was narrated from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in the of Umar ibn al-Khattab. However, if the entirety of the giver's money is unlawful, such as being acquired through usurpation or bribery, then it is not permissible to accept his gift. But if one doubts the source of the money, it is better to refuse it.
