The Ruling on Leasing to One Who Sells Tobacco

Question : Well, I leased a shop to be a grocery store, and one of its items is tobacco; tobacco is one of the grocery store’s items.

Answer : Is it permissible or not? If he stipulated that he would not sell tobacco in it, it is permissible; otherwise, it is not. Because this contract combines in a single transaction what is permissible to lease and what is not permissible.
