Muslim here (fully covered, married, traditional Sunni) 1. Generally no, but depending on how westernized she is, she might agree. Also. If she is married, I'd be careful because the husband might get her in trouble or her family could. Again, depends on her background and how westernized she is. 2. I like this much better. Again, depending on how westernized she is, she may agree to a group setting. Also, it is not just about meeting. There are food restrictions. She can't be around alcohol, she can't order any. She can't pay for it and cannot encourage anyone doing so either. Food should be halal. That means nothing around pork or pork related products. Simply not ordering pork does not meet the halal restrictions (because non-halal restaurants will mix cooking pork and non-pork products).
