Does gifting a golden necklace with a cross to a Christian person count as encouraging them to stray?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Gifting a Christian person a golden necklace with a cross on it involves several prohibitions: First: Gifting gold to men is forbidden for them. Second: Encouraging the Christian in his misguidance; for the cross is a symbol of disbelief. Third: The outward appearance of this gift is affection and love for the Christian, and it is not for inclining him towards Islam. Fourth: If the gift is for a religious occasion of theirs, then that infringes upon loyalty and disavowal.
