Is it permissible to rent a shop in a tourist village in Sharm El Sheikh to sell only what is lawful, knowing that there are things displeasing to Allah in the village?

If you limit yourself to selling permissible goods and are secure from temptation, there is no harm in engaging in commerce in tourist villages. However, it is better for your faith to practice it in a place free from sins, because punishment may befall everyone generally, and then they will be resurrected according to their intentions.
