Now most of you will probably say don't eat at McDonalds or boycott certain companies because of a political issues, others will say it’s only food or a gift.
Many of us will get offers, promotions, haraam gifts (sweets etc) for the sake of cheap goods!
If you got anything that remotely sounds promotional or offers like for example with some sweets we cannot eat or a money saving book for McDonald’s food, what would you do:
- Give it to a non-believer?
- Throw it in the trash can?
- Recycle it?
- Take it anyway!?
- Don’t know!
Some of you may say give it to a non-believer (we tend to do this alot anyway), but isn't our job to convince our non-believing humans to see our way of life, correct them to the right path?
So giving away unwanted gifts, promotional offers and haraam sweets to non-believers because we ourselves cannot take is right or wrong?
What would you do with your haraam gifts (goods, food, drinks)?
Also we have people who make money (profit) for the sake of survival of so fair enough you buy cheap and sell for profit that’s fine... but what if what you’re buying is stolen? Would you knowingly buy stolen items for profit yourself?
Finance is a long issue so I will not go into it, but haraam promotions is something important to look into it and its very much common sense!
Anyway you take care; I hope to hear from you soon, Inshallah.
I wouldn't give to a non-believer because they shouldn't be eating haraam things either and by giving it to them you are saying it is okay for them to eat it

But it is Haram for you to purchase it in the first place. Why aid sin?
Why don't you give the burgers to the dogs. The dogs from streets are forced to search in the bin where are lot of bacterias. Since he is already eating the human food you should respect him and give straight to them.
The question doesn't have to do with us buying and giving haram to the non Muslims. Its about when haram is given to us, what do we do with it...
Or did I misunderstand something here.
That is correct. I think the differences come in as to what happens after we accept the item.
I deal with they problem simply by not accepting the gift, then there is no question of trying to despose of it in a non-haram manner. Then again, I don't get many gifts anyhow. I'm not in either the work world or the academic world anymore and my only socialising is among Muslims.
Once, during Ramadhan, they were giving out free Boost bars at university. Me being me, I took one to eat at Iftari, putting it in my pocket. Come iftari (or 'second brekkie' as I call it, to a cricket chorus), I take it out, look at the ingredients and realize it's haraam. Next day, I offer it to non-muslims acquaintances but they don't want it, so in the bin it goes.
with me it depends what it is. if its food then i'll chuck it but if its something like perfumes/cosmetics etc (they usually have alcohol in them) then i'll pass it on to someone else.
