Ask A Question About Islam And Muslims

Pescetarians are vegetarians who do not eat any type of meat except fish.

It is allowed to do that for some time, but it is not allowed to claim that eating meat is totally harmful . The Prophets and infallible Imams (AS) used to eat mean and Allah (SWT) is ordering us to eat from the meat of the animal which we sacrifice (Sura Al-Hajj, Sura 28).

It is Makrouh (disliked) to eat meat daily for 40 days, and Makrouh as well to abandon eating meat for 40 days. The believers eat a little of meat even if they prefer vegetarian food, but claiming that eating meat is totally harmful contradicts with the Quran and teachings of the Prophets and Infallible Imams.

Bismillah, 

Asalamu Alaykom, 

This is permitted provided that no haram would be done. So for example, a Muslim may not go to a haram environment like a pub or club. Let us say the Muslim even goes to a normal restaurant but then his non-Muslims colleagues consume alcohol; he would not be permitted to sit on the same table as them in which alcohol is being drunk at. 

If however they go to a restaurant and there is no drinking alcohol on the same table, and the food is halal, then there is no issue and it is permitted inshallah. 

May Allah grant you success
