Is it permissible to rent a house to someone who abandons the congregational prayer and installs a satellite dish in the house?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to rent a house to a person who does not attend with the Muslim congregation, or who installs a satellite dish on the rented house?

Answer:
It is not permissible to rent a house to someone who disobeys Allah in it. Delaying the congregational prayer is a sin and a major sin among the major sins. Likewise, installing satellite dishes that bring in indecent and corrupt channels is not permissible; one may not rent a house to such people because they use it for sins. This is not permissible. Yes.
