Question

Is it permissible to hire a premises for a photographic business, for selling fireworks, a ladies hairdressing saloon, a gambling business?

Answer

It is not permissible to hire out premises for a photographic business. The same applies to a ladies hairdressing saloon, a liquor shop, a betting shop and a fireworks shop. All these activities are haraam. To hire out premises for operating such haraam businesses is in conflict with the Qur'aanic prohibition of aiding and abetting in sin and transgression.
