Renting out one's outhouse to a Hindu
Question
I would like to know if I can rent out my outhouse/granny flat to a Hindu lady? It is directly behind my house and very close. Of course she will probably have her god statue and TV etc.
Answer
It is permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
