Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I have a property that I rent to a tenant, and I stipulate that he not sell anything forbidden. If he sells something forbidden without my knowledge, is there any sin on me for that? He says: I have a property that I rent to a tenant, and I stipulate that he not sell anything forbidden. If he sells this forbidden item without my knowledge, is there any sin on me?
Answer:
If you did not know, then there is no blame on you. But if you knew, you had stipulated this with him, and Muslims are bound by their conditions, so you must remove him from the place. Yes.
