Renting out shops to those who use them for what is forbidden

Question:
There are many questions regarding renting out shops to riba (usury or interest) banks, and renting them out to coffee shops as well. In fact, the questioner asks: Is it permissible to rent out the roof of a building as a coffee shop to sell shisha and the like? I ask for clarification. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Renting out shops to those who do what is forbidden in them is not permissible. It is not permissible to rent out your shop so that it becomes a place for image-making, for example. It is not permissible to sell your shop so that it becomes a place for smoking cigarettes or shisha, or for those who abandon the prayer in congregation to gather there. All of this is not permissible, because this is aiding in sin. We know that among the sales prohibited is a sale that aids in sin, in which case it is forbidden. Likewise, a lease is forbidden if it aids in sin. So if you know that the tenant will use your shop for something forbidden, it is not permissible for you to rent it to him. This is a known fact among the owners of coffee shops: they provide cigarettes and shisha for those present, and this is forbidden. And you know this, so it is not permissible. If you know that the tenant will make your shop a place for image-making, setting up cameras to photograph people, this is not permissible. And so, for everything you know that the tenant will use the shop for in disobedience to Allah, it is not permissible to rent it to him. Is this aiding in the sins of Allah the Exalted and Majestic? Yes.
