My company is having a lunch retreat at a non-halal establishment. Can I join my colleagues?
Islam permits Muslims to attend or join an invitation from friends of other faiths as long as it does not require participation in any religious rites or involves actions that clearly contradict Islamic teachings. It is important not to exclude ourselves from such gatherings in the spirit of camaraderie and being part of a bigger team.
If Muslim are given the choice to choose the venue, then one should always choose the halal- certified options. This advisory is meant for those who do not have such a choice.
When dining at non-halal establishments, Muslims can observe the following tips: - Choosing either seafood or vegetarian options - Request for no alcohol or animal fat to be used in the cooking.
If there is fear of the utensils being mixed with utensils used for non-halal dishes, Muslims may consider to follow the opinions of other schools of laws as highlighted in the beginning of this chapter.
However, if you are uncomfortable, you may choose to just consume a halal beverage.

significance
of restoring the deep language of arts – one of which is the study of logic, historically one of the most important sciences to learn before someone goes into deep study of religion according to Islamic Scholar Imam Ghazali.
