Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !
(Fatwa: 1710/1710/M=1433) By messing weighing scale, if you mean giving deficient measures or weight as deceit, then as per the Shariah this practice is unlawful and sin. Warn the friend that he should run his business and all the practices as per the Shariah. If he does taubah and reforms himself then there is no harm in eating and mixing up with him. Otherwise keep yourself aloof from him.
