Refusing a gift

· 27 Jumada II 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Is this also considered as refusing a gift? When a person informs the person in advance who wants to give a gift that please don't bring any gift we will not receive it?

Answer

If the person seems to be a doubtful character then it is permissible to reject it because of his character being doubtful.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
