The answer

It is forbidden for a Muslim to sit at a table where alcohol is served, due to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saying: "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him not sit at a table where alcohol is circulated." Therefore, it is not permissible to sit with a person drinking alcohol while they are drinking. Transactions can be completed in a place where alcohol is not served, and one can request respect for the religion that forbids sitting in such a reprehensible situation.
