Question
The Musjid's committee has leased a shop of the Musjid to a barber who plays music, cuts the hair of females, shaves beards and cuts haraam hair styles. What is the Shariah's ruling?
Answer
The Musjid committee has committed an evil deed by leasing the Musjid's premises for haraam activity. It is not permissible to lease premises to a hairdresser who indulges in haram acts such as music, cutting hair of females, cutting haraam hair styles for men, shaving beards, etc. It is compulsory to evict the haraam tenant immediately. The money derived from the haraam barber's shop is haaram and may not be used for the Musjid's maintenance.
