Question:
This is a woman asking: What is the ruling on renting out a house to a man who installs a satellite dish in his home, and claims that the channels on it are Islamic? Is the money taken in exchange for this rental lawful or forbidden?
Answer:
You must stipulate a condition when renting it out. Stipulate that he does not install a dish in it, so that if he installs a dish, he has violated the condition, and you can then evict him from the house because you stipulated this upon him, and Muslims are bound by their conditions. However, if you do not stipulate it, you will not be able to control him. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
