Reading from the author's words with commentary and collation of manuscripts: "As for if he leases it to him for the purpose of selling intoxicants, or making it a church or a place of worship
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : it ... it
The reader: "As for if he leases it to him for the purpose of selling intoxicants or making it a church or a place of worship, it is not permissible, without any disagreement, and this is the view of al-Shafi'i and others, just as it is not permissible to lease his slave woman or slave for fornication. And Abu Hanifah said: It is permissible to lease it for that purpose. And Abu Bakr al-Razi said: There is no difference in Abu Hanifah's view"
The Shaykh : The basis for this view of Abu Hanifah (may Allah have mercy on him) is that this is permissible for him, i.e., for the dhimmi (a non-Muslim under Muslim protection). But it is said that this permissibility is a permissibility of religion (milla), not one of the matters in which opinions differ. So it is leasing it for disbelief. So the view of Abu Hanifah in this is weak, may Allah have mercy on him. Yes.
