The ruling on renting a residence from one who does not attend the congregational prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man wants to rent a residence, but he was informed that the landlord who lives with him in the same building, meaning its owner, does not attend the congregational prayer in the mosque. So, should he rent from him, or not, from the perspective of the Shari'ah?
Answer:
He should not be his neighbor. If he rents from him, it means he is his neighbor and has accepted his actions. So, he should not move to a second building to distance himself from him. Yes.
