Landlord permitting his tenant to sell fireworks

Q: Can I, as a landlord, permit my tenant (Muslim & / or non-Muslim) to sell fireworks?

A: Selling fireworks is not haraam. However, it is disliked. Hence, the money earned through leasing one's premises to a person who sells fireworks will not be haraam.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
