Accepted Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

There is no harm in buying food from restaurants that add VAT as long as the food is lawful and the price is known to the buyer.

Allaah knows best.
