The sin of renting an apartment to someone who places forbidden things in it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I have an apartment for rent, so I rented it to a person, and he placed some forbidden things in it, such as a shower and others. Is there a sin on me?
Answer:
Yes, you also have a sin, because you rented it to him so that he would disobey Allah in it. Rather, you rented it to him so that he would use it for what is permissible. If he violates that, then you must evict him from it, because this is part of forbidding what is wrong. Also, this is part of acting in accordance with contracts. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:[Al-Ma'idah 5:1] So you have not contracted with him to use it for sins; rather, you rented it to him to use it for permissible benefit. Therefore, it is not permissible for you to leave him there. Yes.
