Ruling on Renting Shops to People of Sin
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to rent shops to people of sin, such as one who shaves his beard or one who abandons prayer, or is there a detailed ruling?
Answer:
As for renting them to disbelievers, that is not permissible; renting them to Christians or to one known for shirk (associating partners with Allah), such as Buddhists and their like, is not permissible.
As for the sinner, it is permissible to rent to him, but if one seeks out the righteous, that is better.
As for renting them to one who commits sins in them, such as one who makes them a place for shaving beards, or a place for engaging in riba (usury or interest), or a place for selling khamr (intoxicants) and narcotics, this is not permissible; because it is aiding them in sin and transgression.
