(Query published as received)
A. No. It is not permissible to partake of meals at such places. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) has prohibited a Muslim from going to a venue of vice and said “Whoever adds to the crowd of a people is counted as part of them.” (Kanzul Ummaal, Musnad Abi Ya’la).
