Is a drink which states alcohol free haraam, and also if it is served on a table, is it impermissible to consume food on that table?
In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful.
Answer:
Saaiduna Jabir Radiallahu Anhu narrates that The Prophet of Allah Sallallahu Alahi Wasalam said, “Whatever intoxicant in a greater quantity is also unlawful in its smaller quantity.” (Sunan Tirmizi p.8 v.2)
Regarding your question, if the drink is 100% alcohol free, then it will be permissible to drink it and also sit and eat on that table where it is being served. The prohibition of sitting on a table applies to where alcoholic drinks are being drunk.
The Prophet of Allah Sallallahu Alahi Wasalam has said, “Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day must not sit at a table at which alcohol is consumed.” (Sunan Tirmizi & Musnad Ahmad)
