Living in an apartment attached to a mosque whose worker sells tobacco

The questioner:
Ahmad from Jeddah, go ahead, Ahmad. Go ahead, my brother Ahmad. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh:
What?

The questioner:
Go ahead. By Allah, just for the Shaykh, go ahead, may Allah grant him well-being. Right now, I am living in a building belonging to a mosque, and the mosque is not under the Waqf (endowment); rather, the one who built the mosque is the one who oversees it and carried out these works. But there is unemployment below, meaning I saw the worker selling tobacco. I tried to speak to the owner of the mosque indirectly, saying that I am the resident or tenant in the building belonging to the mosque, in a distant way, so I did not see any interest or any indifference from him. I do not know what I should do from my side, or whether I should be patient and stay in this apartment belonging to the mosque, even though there are some shortcomings in the mosque carpets. The question. May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh:
My brother, you forbade him and warned him against selling tobacco, so you have cleared your conscience. There is no harm in living in the apartment. There is no harm in it because it is for residence and rental. And you advised him and clarified to the lessor that he should prevent him and keep the sale of tobacco away from the vicinity of the mosque. This is a required matter. Yes.
