Q: We have no choice but to
attend parties
held in the work place (school laboratories) where people drink beer and other alcoholic beverages. However, praise be to Allah, we do not go anywhere near those drinks. At the same time, they have a custom whereby a person has to be nice to the person next to him and pour a drink into his cup (beer or whatever he is drinking), and that person returns the favor. Therefore, they pour juice into my cup for me. What is the ruling on my pouring beer into the other person’s cup? Will I be considered as one who offers (alcohol)?
A:
If the situation is as described, it is Haram (prohibited) for you to attend these parties and other gatherings with them. This is especially so if you are not able to denounce the evil action, as then you would be considered to participate with them in these evil gatherings or at least you keep quiet about them. (Part No. 12; Page No. 360) Both of these are Haram. We ask Allah to keep us and you safe.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
