Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Is it permissible for a property owner to rent the shops he owns to the owners of evil, such as singing establishments and shisha shops?

Answer:
This is explicitly stated in the texts; it is not permissible. He must not rent them to one who works with intoxicants in them, or to one who makes them a place for the owners of corruption to gather. This is forbidden; it is not permissible.
