The Questioner: On the ruling on eating in restaurants which have in them alcohol, some brothers raise the issue that there is other than the it (alcohol) present?
Shaikh Al Albani rahimahullah: that there is other than alcohol?
Questioner: Yes
Shaikh: We do not doubt in the impermissibility because it is entering into places in which Allah’s punishment and anger are permissible. So it is not permissible for a Muslim except for one passing through.
Questioner: He buys to-go?
Shaikh: As long as there is other than it (alcohol) in it, there is no hindrance for the one on the go.
