Is it permissible to accept 'Eidiya (a gift of money given on holidays) from a brother who does not pay Zakat, knowing this?

Zakat is one of the pillars of Islam, and abandoning it is a major sin that requires repentance and prompt payment. It is obligatory to continue advising your brother until he fulfills what Allah has enjoined upon him. His money is not unlawful, and it is permissible to accept his gift and eat from his wealth, unless refraining from accepting his gift and boycotting him serves a benefit. We advise accepting his gifts and continuing to advise him.
