jazaks sis...finally someone found fatwa to support this situation....shukran sis!

:w:
 
Had this discussion with an elder member of my family 3 days ago,he got really worked up over my view.

But still,im sticking to my opinion.

As far as i am concerned,There is nothing wrong with eating where alcohol is served,as long as the Food is halal.

And no,i dont mean the Pub,..yes,the peanuts/pretzels are halal,but the Business revolves around Alcohol.

At resturants,the business revolves around Food,but inorder to attract non-muslim customers as well,they have to do something.

Most of the Halal places i know of (in nz) dont sell Alcohol,they have a B.Y.O option though,which is fair enough.

So if i a customer wants to drink,they can bring their own booze.If they wish to be sober,then good on them.

But yeah,like i said,No,i dont see anything wrong with eating somewhere where alcohol is served,as long as you're not drinking it.

The elder said to me "You can eat there if you want to!that goes to show your level of taqwa!"

Well,come to think of it,if that is the case,then we shouldnt even buy bread from cornershops/supermarkets that sell wine or pornographic magazines.

..is the food served there Halal?

If so,then i dont see why not.

Its just that,i dont know many non-muslims that serve Halal food,..Not in NewZealand anyway.

Q1. A= It is not a good idea toeat in a place where alcohol is being served.

It's a bit like the hadeeth about keeping good company:

A person who has good friends is like the person who enters a musk shop, he wil either buy some nice musk, or he will get a nice smell as he comes out of the shop.

But a person who has bad friends, it is like the blacksmith, he will either be in danger of getting his clothes burnt, or he will pick up a bad smell from the smoke etc.

In the same way, By eating in a place where alcohol is being served, you will either get put off becuase of the drunkards' behaviour when they have gone over the top, or, leave with the smells from the alcohol.....

My 2 cents, I've specified a hadeeth too to back it up, so that you may find it more easier to accept.
 
If you're having a meal at a pub (can you eat at a pub? :? ),yeah,there will be Drunks walking about you,..

...but at resturants,there are hardly ever any drunkards. :)

bro not necessarily halal but with vegetarian options....

In that case,i dont see anything wrong with it.

But once again,that is my opinion. :)
 
Take McDonalds for example, they have 'vegetarian' options too, but sometimes, they have been found to be cramming in Cow fat/ pig fat etc. at times.

Atleast with a Muslim owner, you'll atleast have the satisfaction that they wont be putting anything dodgy into their food, unless they are dodgy of course.
 
ok right but im talking about places where the food is all fresh....i mean its not often you find halal greek eateries....
 
But seeing as i am a man,i dont eat vegetarian meals at resturants ;D

....i love my Nandos too much .. :statisfie

Im glad you said "unless they are dodgy ofcourse",otherwise i was going to give you a lecture ;D

I know a guy who opened a takeaway here in Auckland,he named it ZAMZAM.

Everyone thought "Masha'allah!"

His business was going very well,but then someone found out that he was using Haram cheese and other haram dairy products in the food.

The leaders of the community confronted him,..

..His response?

"So?"

His business wasnt open for much longer.

Kheir,better late than never.

Wa'salaam.
