Question

There's someone that wants to let out some cottages on his farm. The person is wealthy so they're not short of money and he has a high level of taqwa also.

His only concern is the alcohol on the premises. Is it permissible if non-Muslims use the premises and basically if they bring the alcohol, if they play music in the units, if they also cook haraam food, what's the permissibility of that in Islam?

Answer

It is permissible.

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