The ruling on renting shops to grocery stores that are likely to sell tobacco

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for the owner of commercial shops to rent them to grocery stores if he is of the opinion that they will sell tobacco?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible for him to do this. He must stipulate that if they sell anything forbidden, he will evict them from the premises. Yes.
