Rent a shop to a person who shaves beards

Q: I work for a relative who takes drugs, consumes Khamr (intoxicants) and does not observe the performance of Salah (prayer). I offer Salah and try as much as I can to hold fast to the Prophet's Sunnah (whatever is reported from the Prophet) but he mocks at anything related to the Din (religion). Sometimes, he asks me not to pray and suggests that I offer all the prayers at the end of the day in order not to delay his work. Is it permissible for me to work with him? It is important to note that if I refuse to work with him my mother will be sad. What should I do? May Allah reward you well! Please note that my employer performed Hajj some years ago.


A: It is not permissible to work with this man as this leads to cooperation in sin and transgression and involves obeying a creature in disobedience to the Creator. (Part No. 14; Page No. 467) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
