A Muslim Takes Financial Assistance from Christian Organizations
A poor Muslim woman from Bangladesh was offered by a Christian organization a food voucher to buy from the grocery store. Is it permissible (halal) for her to accept it and live off this assistance, or is it forbidden (haram)?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is permissible for her to take it and benefit from it, but she must remain steadfast in her faith, and God knows best.
