Muslims, do you go to the pub with your work colleagues?

sis dont go next time as islamically you are not allowed to even be in an environment where alcohol is consumed,but don't worry sis, just repent.

salam and have a good evening xxx

My mum's a Muslim and she manages to resist temptation when ppl around her drink, although not in pubs but restaurants.

i would never ever ever do that. i would probably end up drunk. curiousity.and peer pressure

yeah - bit awkward though for me, usually avoid pubs like the plague (not your avg british girl lol)

So I’m the only Muslim person in my team and I wear the hijab. The team wanted to celebrate Christmas by going to the pub. I honestly didn’t want to go at first, as I had never been before and thought wearing the hijab would attract attention. however, I decided to go as it was lunch time so I knew no one would go crazy with the alcohol. I ordered Coca Cola while everyone around me had a pint of beer. It was quite uncomfortable as I’m not used to being surounded by alcohol. But it wasn’t too bad and was a new experience for me.

The thing they are taking about going again.me personally I don’t want this to become a regular thing because as strong as I am in my faith the temptation is always there and I do feel a little out of place in the pub.

But at I overthinking it?

But why? Aren’t you suppose to have strong faith? Where is your self control? Just order some juice weakling!

because i.dont have.strong faith

I'm not a muslim but do go ti the pub with colleagues. I never drink as I will drive home; no-one bats an eyelid.

Are you muslim by name type?

Well, you’ve stayed away from alcohol in all that time so...

How do you tell your colleagues without coming across as rude that you can’t keep going to the pub?

Just say you have something else to do, other people to meet etc but relaxing with colleagues is important. Decode how often you want to go and stick with it
