The ruling on renting shops to the Shi'ah and the evidence for establishing the face

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
There is no status for the Shi'ah within the community, along with some of the scholars of the Shari'ah, from which a lecture and agreement upon it may arise.

Answer:
Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says
And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression.وَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَىٰ وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:2]
, and anything involving cooperation in sin and aggression is not permissible. Just as it is not permissible to rent a shop for selling intoxicants, for example, or to make it a factory for intoxicants, or to make it a house for the Druze? I return to. Barley. For example, the cinema or other forbidden matters. It is not permissible. Anything involving assistance in what is [forbidden] by Allah. So if, for example, a group of people display their disbelief and misguidance, it is not permissible for anyone to rent to them. But if it is merely that they reside and nothing is displayed from them, nothing is displayed from them, merely that they reside and do not display any of their evil, but rather they gather with people and with Muslims, then perhaps the matter in this is understood. As for one who knows that they display their evil and display their disbelief, it is not permissible for him to rent to them. Yes. With your necessity, that one who knows a man and opens. Meaning a round. I say if they make the rented shop a place for calling to their misguidance, to their schools of thought. This is not permissible. Not for the Shi'ah and not for others.
As for merely that they reside and nothing happens from them until they leave and depart. I do not advise anyone to rent to them. But we do not say that this is forbidden. And that nothing is entailed by it until we say that it is forbidden. But from the perspective of choice and from the perspective that a person avoids the doubtful, he does not rent to him. Yes.
