QUESTION: I own a house that I rent out to tenants. There is a dargah/mazar (shrine) nearby, and many tenants rent the house mainly because they come to visit the shrine, while some rent it for ordinary residential purposes. Some tenants are also non-Muslims. If I know that certain tenants are staying there mainly to visit the shrine, does the rent I receive from them become haram?

ANSWER:
If they tell you on their own beforehand that they want to rent it only due to the shrine, you should not rent it to them but if they don’t tell you anything, you can rent without a problem & you don’t need to ask them anything.
