Receiving a collectors coin as a gift
Question
A Muslim gave me an expensive silver collectors coin as a gift. I am quite certain that when he purchased the coin, it was not a cash deal done hand-to-hand.
1. May I keep such a coin?
2. If not, what must be done with this expensive coin?
Answer
Yes
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
