Liquor at the Dinner Table
If liquor is served on a table, it is HarÄm to sit there and eat even if one does not touch the wine. Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) informs that the Holy Prophet (S) said:
“Accursed, accursed is the one who sits at a table where wine is being served.”
(Wasa’il ul-Shia)
The Holy Prophet (S) also says:
“One who believes in Allah and the last day, must not even sit at the table where wine is kept.”
(MasÄlik of ShahÄ«d Thani)
Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) says:
“Do not sit with drunkards because when the curse descends it engulfs all the people in the company of the drunkards.”
(Wasa’il ul-Shia, Chapter 33)
Some scholars have stated that it is not permitted to be in the company of people where anything HarÄm is being done. For example, backbiting about a Muslim. It is then obligatory on a person to leave immediately if possible and be free of the sin of just being in this company. Also, if by his leaving, the others will discontinue their sinful action, it is obligatory on him to do so.
