Ahsan Allah Alaykum ya sheikh, 1. Is it generally allowed to go to restaurant that serves alcohol 2. What if there is an area in the restaurant that is away from the alcohol (if it’s haram) 3. And does it count as assisting in sin or not (if it’s haram)

Ustadh AbdulAziz al-Haqqan
If the restaurant has a section separate from where alcohol is drunk, there is no harm, but if the alcohol is on the tables around you then do not go except out of necessity. The scholars said this is because it is witnessing evil and makes a person look lax about it.
