Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: There is a building with shops that have been rented to barbers. It is a bequest from my father (may Allah have mercy on him), and I am the agent for the heirs. Is it permissible for me to evict these barbers? The real estate office says that they did not verify that these shops are rented out, so how can you evict them? Is there a sin on me if I evict them, or if I leave them?
Answer:
Yes, it is obligatory for you to evict them, because shaving the beard is a forbidden evil, and this is not permissible. You must convert these shops from being for barbers to being for selling and buying goods. Convert them, and this is easy, praise be to Allah. Yes.
