Question:
Is it permissible to rent out residences to a Jew or a Christian, knowing that they commit some wrongs in them, such as drinking intoxicants and other things?
Answer:
If you are in a land where disbelievers reside, and you have an apartment or a building that you rent out, there is nothing wrong with renting it out. It is permissible to sell and buy with a disbeliever, and it is permissible to rent and lease with a disbeliever; there is no harm in that. And if they practice their religion in it but do not display it, that is one matter. But if they display it, it is not permissible. But if they practice it secretly in the house, that is their affair. Yes.
