The Ruling on Renting Shops to Hookah Sellers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We have a neighbor who is renting to a man who sells hookah. We spoke to him, and he said: He is renting to a second man for five years, and he has one year left. He rented it to the second man, the hookah seller, and said, "I spoke to a Shaykh, and he said there is no problem..."?
Answer:
No, that is a mistake, a mistake. People must be taught that this is not permissible. Allah says: [Al-Ma'idah: 2]. His neighbors should speak to him and advise him so that he does not return to this. If the need arises for a court, they should take him to court.
Q: Is the contract annulled?
A: Either the contract is annulled, or they take it to the court; perhaps it will help them in this matter.

but do not cooperate in sin and aggression

A: Either the contract is annulled, or they take it to the court; perhaps it will help them in this matter.
