Q: Please could you tell me if it is permissible to eat in a licensed restaurant? I know that it is not allowed to eat at a table where there is alcohol i.e. someone is drinking it. Please could you let me know of a Hadith or Quran ayah that says whether it is permissible or not?

Muslims must abstain from eating at such places. The Hadith strongly directs us to abstain from places of doubt and suspicion.
