Gift received from a bank manager
Question
If a bank manager gifted me a bottle of attar (perfume), is it permissible to use the attar? I love using attar, please guide me. If not, then what do I do with the attar bottle?
Answer
If you are more or less sure that what he has given you is from haraam sources then do not use it.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
