The forbidden Rental

Question :

Is it permissible to rent something to a person who deals with lawful and forbidden things? What is the ruling on the rental money (given by this person)? Is it unlawful earning?

Answer:

That is not permissible due to what it contains of accepting that which is forbidden and assisting those who are disobedient sinners in their acts of disobedience. Indeed Allah, the Most High said:
"And do not cooperate in sin and transgression."

So, everyone who sells something forbidden, like forbidden musical products, lewd and indecent films, and seductive pictures, it is not permissible to rent a house or a shop to him. The same applies to whoever deals in forbidden transactions, such as Riht, deception, stealing, cheating in weights and measurements, and so forth. This also applies to whoever uses a house as a place to produce intoxicants (alcohol, illegal drugs, etc.), or for the people to indulge in forbidden forms of entertainment (such as music, etc.) or fornication and adultery or reprehensible gatherings that result in abandoning the prayers or doing forbidden acts. In reference to the earnings and the rent money that is received from such a person, it is doubtful and disliked, but it is not entirely forbidden. And avoiding doubtful things is an obligation upon the Muslim.
