Renting out a portion of one's premises to a church

· 14 Muharram 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

There is a small commercial property to rent to few different tenants... e.g. Car sales, take way, panel beater, etc.... A small section, about 15 % of the building on first floor is empty so I got an enquiry from a church to hire that portion of the premises. Can I rent it out to a church? Will this income be permissible?

Answer

Refuse this.

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