Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: I have shops that I offer for rent, so is it permissible for me to offer them for rent?

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
So is it permissible for me to rent a shop to a man who sells forbidden items in it?

The Shaykh:
No, this is cooperation in sin and aggression, so this lease is not permissible. Yes.
