The ruling on renting out a barbershop where beards are shaved
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Yes. May Allah reward you. Your Excellency the Shaykh, the questioner says: My brother has a barbershop, and beards are shaved in it. I have rebuked him many times, and he used to say to me that the sin is on the worker, because the worker does not receive a monthly salary from me; rather, he only rented the chair in the shop from me, and I am the one who rented the chair to him. Does this exempt him from the sin? May Allah reward you?
Answer:
This is a fallacy. You have cooperated with him. If you rented out the shop, you have cooperated with him in sin and aggression. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says:[Al-Ma'idah 5:2] [Al-Ma'idah 5:2]. And among that is the renting out. You took the rent in exchange for what? In exchange for a sin, because you have established this in your shop. This is not permissible. Inform your brother that this is a mistake and is not permissible.

Answer:
This is a fallacy. You have cooperated with him. If you rented out the shop, you have cooperated with him in sin and aggression. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says:
but do not cooperate in sin and aggression
وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِAnd cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression.
وَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَىٰ وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ
