The ruling on leasing land to a telecommunications company for ten years

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I have land in Riyadh, and it has a distinguished location. A telecommunications company has approached me with a request to lease the land for ten years at a value of thirty thousand riyals annually, for the purpose of placing a mast and a tower belonging to the company. My question is: Is it permissible to lease it to them or not? And is it permissible to lease it for this long period?

Answer:
Leasing for a long period is not a problem. However, if this company’s dealings are forbidden, do not lease it to them. If you are certain, or if it is most likely in your opinion, that their dealings are forbidden, or if a scholar of knowledge you trust has issued a ruling that their dealings are forbidden, then do not lease it to them, because this is cooperation in sin and aggression. Yes.
