Is it permissible to accept gifts given to children by a person who deals in alcohol, while desiring not to sever the ties of kinship?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to accept a gift if it is known to have been acquired through unlawful means, except with the intention of giving it as charity to the poor, provided that accepting it serves a benefit, such as softening the heart of the giver and inclining them to accept the truth. However, if no improvement in the giver's condition is expected from accepting it, and rejecting it would deter them, then it is preferable to reject it, as the ruling revolves around the benefit.
