Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He has a rest house and says he will rent it to some young men. He has stipulated that they must not use it for any forbidden matter, but he says he is almost certain they will install satellite dishes and other such things in it. Is there any harm for him in doing so?
Answer:
Yes, if it is your strong belief, or you know, that they are people who cannot be trusted, then it is not permissible for you to rent it to them. As you know, what happens in rest houses and gatherings these days involves suspicious matters and plotting with evil ideas. The danger is great. You must be extremely cautious in renting out your rest house, except to someone you trust who will not use it for what is not permissible. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
