A: If the main source of their income is permissible then you may accept the gifts.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

أهدى إلى رجل شيئا أو أضافه إن كان غالب ماله من الحلال فلا بأس إلا أن يعلم بأنه حرام فإن كان الغالب هو الحرام ينبغي أن لا يقبل الهدية ولا يأكل الطعام إلا أن يخبره بأنه حلال ورثته أو استقرضته من رجل كذا في الينابيع (الفتاوى الهندية 5/ 342)
