Question
Please tell us wheather it is permissible for us to eat a gift given such as food etc from a nonmuslim on the ocassion of any parties etc etc
Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
At the outset, one should not attend parties of non-Muslims because of all the evil which goes along with it. If one did not attend the party and was sent a gift for him, it will be permissible to accept the gift. If the gift is a consumable item and all the ingredients are halal, then it will be permissible to consume it.
And Allah knows best
