Is it permissible for a Muslim woman to sit with her non-Muslim parents while they are drinking alcohol?
It is not permissible to sit at a table where alcohol is served, due to the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him not sit at a table where alcoholic beverages are circulated." If the parents drink alcohol after the meal, one can eat with them and then leave before they start drinking. However, if the drinking is during the meal, then if it is possible to avoid sitting without causing a greater harm, one must do so while explaining the reason. If there is a fear of harm or corruption, such as estrangement or alienation, then it is permissible to sit with a dislike in the heart, while being keen to explain the harms of alcohol.
