Question:
1. Is it permissible to let out one's property to a company that wants to use the place for the storage and distribution of liquor? The liquor is manufactured elsewhere.
2. Is it permissible to let out the place as a mortuary to store dead bodies?
Answer:
1).
It will not be permissible to let out one’s property for the storage of liquor
as this is tantamount to assisting in the disobedience of Allah E which is prohibited in
the Quraan Sharif. Allah E
states in the Quraan Sharif, “And do not assist each other in sin and
transgression.” [Surah Maa’idah, Verse 2]
2). It will be permissible
to let out one’s premises to a mortuary wherein dead bodies are stored. [Re:-
Fataawa Aalamgiri, Kitaabul Ijaarah (chapter sixteen)]
And allah ta’ala knows best
