QUESTION: I plan to open a café/restaurant that sells halal food, but free mixing (ikhtilath) between men and women may occur because it only has one open space with separate tables, where customers may stay for a short or long time to eat, study, or work remotely. Am I sinful for the mixing in my café, and is the profit generated from this business halal?”

ANSWER:
As long as you sell halal food in a halal way, your income is halal, and it is none of your business who comes to your cafe. It is not your job to investigate, as most people do not carry their marriage licenses!
