Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if a person leases a house from me for residence, and it is likely in my opinion that the lessee will place a television in it, is the lease valid? And am I required to stipulate that he not place this device in it?
Answer:
You should stipulate it. Stipulating is better, even if you are in doubt, so that you have a legal claim against him if he violates the condition. If you do not stipulate it, you will not be able to evict him. Therefore, stipulating it is better and more cautious. Yes.
