If a person receives a gift from a non-Muslim that they suspect is haram (forbidden), they should:
1. Thank the giver for their intention
2. Discreetly inquire about the gift’s origin (if possible)
3. If confirmed haram, politely decline or return the gift
4. If unable to return, consider donating or disposing of it in a respectful manner
5. If in doubt, consult a trusted Islamic scholar or mentor for guidance
Remember, showing gratitude and respect for the giver’s intention is important, while also maintaining one’s own moral integrity.
