Leasing To Retailers Of Prohibited Items
What is the Shariah ruling in regard to leasing real estate to supermarkets, restaurants, hotels or tourist shops whose products may include Islamically prohibited items?
If the purpose of the lease is purely prohibited, like a bar or a nightclub, then the lease contract is prohibited because the subject of the contract itself is prohibited.

It is lawful, however, to lease property to a business concern whose primary business is in lawful goods and services even if it is to a lesser degree supplemented by income from unlawful goods and services.
