Ruling on Renting Houses to Those Who Do Not Pray
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
I have many houses for rent, and I previously rented them to workers for a year. These workers do not pray and they commit some wrongs. After the contract ended, I evicted them. Now the houses are closed, and I need to rent them out, but we have no one else to rent to except these workers, because they are old houses and are not rented to families. Is it permissible to rent them to them?
There is no harm in renting them to these people, and advise them to stay away from the sins you see them committing and from abandoning the congregational prayer.And if we say: There is no harm regarding the renting, so there is no harm in the rent.And perhaps we say: If not renting to them serves as a deterrent for them from sins and encourages them to pray in congregation, then it may be said that preventing them from renting is for the sake of reforming their condition.
