Aslam

Praise be to Allah.That

depends. If there is no risk that seeking or accepting their help will

have a harmful impact on the religious commitment of the one who asks

for or accepts their help, then there is nothing wrong with that. But

is there is any risk involved, then it is not permissible to ask for

their help or to accept it – in accordance with the shar’i evidence

which indicates that it is obligatory to avoid that which Allaah has

forbidden and to keep away from that which will earn the wrath of Allaah.

It was reported that the Prophet

(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) accepted gifts from some

of the mushrikeen and not from others. The reason for that was what

we have noted above, as was stated by the scholars.

And Allaah

is the Source of strength. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad and

his family and companions, and grant them peace.
