Is it permissible to sit at a table that includes non-Muslims, on which there are forbidden things such as alcohol and pork, provided one does not eat from it?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is forbidden to sit in places where sins are committed, such as drinking alcohol and listening to music, unless a Muslim is able to denounce it, in which case there is no harm. However, if the place is predominantly frequented by non-Muslims and the Muslim cannot find another place, and their table is separate, then there is no harm upon them.
