Question:
He says: I have a non-Muslim worker, and I have him eat and drink with me. Does this have any effect regarding the drink and the food in terms of purity, sweat, and so on?
Answer:
First, my brother, praise be to Allah, Muslim workers are available and numerous, and they are in need of work. So employing Muslims is undoubtedly better and more virtuous. As for what you asked about, that the disbeliever worker eats with you and drinks with you, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
