Q: I rented out my courtyard to the Culture and Arts Association.
Nevertheless, I am not at ease with this so I hope your Eminence could guide me in this regard. It may be important to mention that (Part No. 14; Page No. 449) this association encourages art, acting, and the revival of folklore. May Allah grant you success and keep you for the sake of benefiting Islam and Muslims.
A:
It is impermissible to
rent the property which is mentioned in the question to whomever commits sins in it such as singing and having unlawful fun. Similarly, it is impermissible to rent it to whomever sells Haram (prohibited) items like instruments of singing or Taswir (painting, drawing, sculpture, and photography), tobacco, or wanton magazines. This is because doing the foregoing involves helping in sin and transgression which Allah forbids. He (Exalted be He) says:
Help you one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwâ (virtue, righteousness and piety); but do not help one another in sin and transgression.
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
