Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible to eat with grave worshippers, or to eat their slaughtered animals, or to marry them, where...

Answer:
As for their slaughtered animals, do not eat them, because it is the slaughter of a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah). As for marrying them, it is not permissible, because Allah said:
And do not marry polytheistic women until they believeوَلَا تَنكِحُوا الْمُشْرِكَاتِ حَتَّىٰ يُؤْمِنَّ
[Al-Baqarah 2:221]
. As for eating with them, if it is merely eating together that happens by chance, where you and they gather in a place and food is served, there is no harm as long as the food is permissible. However, if you sit with them, eat with them in a companionable meal, and feel affection for them, that is not permissible. Yes.
