Hiring out crockery to both Muslims and non-Muslims
Question
A Muslim company hires out dishes such as Deghs, platters etc. to Muslims and non-Muslims. Is it permissible to take a fee for the service?
Answer
Dishes made of steel, copper, lead etc. which are not permeable, may be hired out to both Muslims and non-Muslims, as the dishes do not become Napaak. If the crockery is hired out for permissible events, then there is no harm in charging a fee in lieu of the services offered.
