Leasing a property to a non-Muslim supermarket and takeaway

· 8 Jumada I 1447 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I got a business property that's vacant. There's a non Muslim who wished to rent it out for a supermarket and takeaway. He will be selling haraam meat in the takeaway. Can I let it out to him?

Answer

Leasing the land to him for the purpose of a supermarket is permissible.

Similarly, leasing the land to him for a takeaway is also permissible as everything he will be selling in the takeaway will not be impermissible.

Rather, some things will be permissible and some things will not be permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
