Ibn Umar reported: Umar saw a silken cloak for sale and he requested that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, buy it to wear on Fridays and days he receives delegations. The Prophet said, “Verily, this is a garment worn by those with no share in the Hereafter.” Later, the Prophet received some silken cloaks similar to those and he sent one to Umar. Umar said to the Prophet, “How can I wear it considering what you said?” The Prophet said, “I have surely not given it to you to wear, but rather to sell or give to someone else.” Umar sent it to his brother among the people of Mecca before he had accepted Islam.

Imam al-Shawkani commented, “This is evidence for the permissibility of giving gifts to an unbelieving relative, and the relevant verse, ‘Allah does not forbid you from dealing kindly and fairly with those who have neither fought nor driven you out of your homes,’ (60:8) indicates the permissibility of giving gifts to unbelievers in general, whether relatives or otherwise.”
