Charity to Non-Muslims

Question

Is it permissible to give charity to the non-Muslims?

Answer:

It is not permissible to give Zakah to the disbelievers, and it is disliked to give voluntary charity to the non- Muslims, because this involves supporting them in their disbelief. Allah, the Most High says:
But do not help one another in sin and transgression.

However, if it was in the hope that he will embrace Islam, then there is no objection to giving him charity, in order to make him wish to enter the fold of Islam. If there is cause to fear that he might die, it is permissible to save him from death, so that he might know the goodness of Islam.
