Question:

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah

I have an alcohol shop just beside my home. and the smell of alcohol always enters into my house and my kitchen is in the corner of my house as alcohol is haram in Islam, is it permissible to cook in that kitchen, is it sinful living and performing in the house and does it cause any harm to our ibadah?

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيْم

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah

Alcohol is a sin, and its consumption is haram, but smelling alcohol does not intoxicate or contaminate anything, so it will not affect your home or your ibadah in any way.

Allah (swt) alone knows best.
