Is it permissible to rent out houses in Makkah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : The topic is regarding residence in Makkah, so I will not prolong this for you.
The Shaykh : Yes, there is an old disagreement among the scholars on this issue, but I do not find any text in the Sunnah, let alone in the Book, that forbids the owner of a house from renting out his house. However, if there is open land, it is forbidden for the owner of the land to take the fee of the one who settles in it or camps in it.
Yes.
