Eating and drinking with a wine-drinker

Question

Question: If some Muslim is a drunkard, is it permissible to eat and drink with him or not? And what if one eats from the same bowl?

Answer

If wine has not touched his hands and mouth, there is no harm in eating with him. If it is expected that he will reform through people not eating with him, then one should not eat with him.
