Question
If one works at a company which is either owned by the government or an individual, and it has been their way to give their workers gifts at the end of the year for Christmas and the New Year. Is it lawful for Muslims to take these gifts?
Answer
Yes, it is allowed to accept gifts from them as a courtesy, but attending Christmas parties because of this occasion is not allowed.
Meanwhile, it would be a good idea to give them a gift during Eid al-Fitr or Eid al-Adha.
