Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible to accept assistance, a grant, or a gift from a disbeliever to a Muslim. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, accepted gifts from disbelievers and also gave them gifts. Therefore, there is no objection to collecting donations for your colleague's family from anyone who extended a helping hand to you, whether Muslim or disbeliever.
