Fataawa - , Ruling on accepting New Years’ gifts

Question:
Is it permissible to accept the New Years' gifts such as calendars and
diaries etc. from companies that deal with the company where we work?
These companies give these gifts to all the personnel of the
department where I work.
Fatwa:
All perfect praise be to Allaah, theLord of the Worlds. I testify that
there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is
His Slave and Messenger.
It is permissible for these employees to accept the gifts that are
given to them by the services companies through the company where they
work as thepurpose of these presents is advertising. However, if these
presents are a bribe that is given so that the company giving them may
thereby get something that they do not deserve, it would be
impermissible to accept it.
Allaah Knows best.
