Landlord permitting his tenant to sell fireworks

Q: I wanted to ask if it is permissible for one to lease out a shop to a non-Muslim who wants to sell fireworks for November, December and January. He then wants to continue selling furniture.

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.
