Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Outside this country, some restaurants have a separate area for intoxicants, called a bar. Is it permissible for me to enter the restaurant and eat there, while the intoxicants are in another place?
Answer:
No, stay away from it and go to a place that does not have a place for intoxicants. Unless you are compelled to do so, and the intoxicants are isolated, for dire necessity has its own ruling. Yes.
