Abstract

This research delves into the standards established by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) concerning the acceptance of gifts from governmental entities. It explores the Prophet's guidance, recorded in Hadith literature, regarding ethical considerations, limits, and conditions surrounding the acceptance of offerings from governing authorities. Analyzing these standards within the context of contemporary governance and ethical frameworks, the study examines their applicability and relevance in navigating ethical dilemmas pertaining to government gifts.
