Evicting the tenant before the end of the term for introducing an evil

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh said: A person rented an apartment from me for one year for residence, and there were no conditions between us. After six months, he was to rent it out to the police station to receive external burials, so I ordered him to remove it, but he did not pay attention. The question is: Do I have the right to evict him before the end of the term, even if he paid the rent in advance, or not?

Answer:
There is no doubt that this is an evil. There is no doubt that this is an evil. It is obligatory for you to forbid the evil and evict him if you are able to evict him. It is obligatory for you to evict him because this is an evil. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
He who amongst you sees something abominable should modify it with the help of his handمن راى منكم منكرا فليغيره بيده
Sahih Muslim 49a
And this is an evil he introduced in your property, so you have the right to evict him. You have the right to evict him because he introduced an evil in your property. Yes.
