The ruling on renting Places for selling forbidden Music Tapes
Question :
Is it permissible for a man to rent his shop to someone who will sell tapes of singing and musical instruments?
Answer:
It is not permissible to rent the shop to someone who will use it in selling what Allâh has forbidden, such as musical products or intoxicants or smokes or so forth. Because this is assisting them in doing what Allâh has forbidden. Indeed Allâh said:
"And do not cooperate in sin and transgression."
It has been authenticated from the Messenger of Allâh that he cursed intoxicants, the one who drinks them, the one who serves them, the one who makes them, the one who seeks to have them made, the one who delivers them, the one to whom they are delivered, the one who sells them, the one who buys them, and the one who devours their price. This is only because the one who serves them, the one who makes them, the one who seeks to have them made, the one who delivers them, and the one who buys them all assist in the sin and transgression.
