is it permissable to have food, where alcohol are sold?

[Helena]

another questions, kinda puzzled...needs answering inshalah....

is it permissible to have lunch in a restuatant where alcohol is being sold? even thou the food is halaal, some owners are muslim...is it allowed in islam? For instance places like zeera, tasfirin and many bricklane resturants in london. Only place i feel safe is barakah besides east london mosque and and pfc's....

i kinda know the answers....but need more views from evryone inshalah!

Not necessarily. There are restaurants which do not serve alcohol.

As for the question, I'm not sure so I won't attempt to answer in case I confuse matters further.

sorry for the confusion i mean sis an asian Restuarant most christains may go so thats why they sell them, but then again hmm..why do they? cause i thought muslims can't touch Alcohol :rollseyes hmm...well they will find out what they get when they stand towards there lord and will be questioned. people just do it for money but then again money doesn't come first your creator comes first like you would say, ''money is gold but fearing your lord is gold''

[Z]

it's the only place where food is served within a 30 minute walking distance. and a place where friends only like to meet.

 

[Kittygyal]

salam.
well maybe you should not go there and meet in a house :rollseyes

by entering a pub or a bar jus to have food which is 30 minutes walk.....its jus the same amount of sin you will acquire through whose drinking it or selling it! its not appropriate in islam!

 

[Mawaddah]

Assalamu'alaikum wa rahmatullah

Sis here I have a fatwa for you concerning this :

Question :


Is it permissible to eat at restaurants where alcohol is served?.

Answer :

Praise be to Allaah.

If it is possible to eat elsewhere then it is not permissible to eat at these places, because that involves cooperating with them in sin and transgression, which Allaah has forbidden. If it is not possible to eat elsewhere then it is permissible to eat there in cases of necessity, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“and has not laid upon you in religion any hardship”

[al-Hajj 22:78]

“Allaah burdens not a person beyond his scope”

[al-Baqarah 2:286]

But he should not eat or drink anything except that which Allaah has permitted.
