Refusing to accept a gift

· 23 Shawwal 1438 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

All my needs are being fulfilled Alhamdulillah. My brother's wife used to pay me pocket money every month. I used to take it. Then I was suffering from many things of her. She hurt my mother and many more things. We all forgive her. I forgive her but now I don't want to take money from her. Am I refusing to accept the risk from Allah?

Answer

If you are not happy with her ways, then you do not have to accept her gift.

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