The basic principle is that it is permissible to interact with a non-Muslim in buying and selling and leasing, unless it is known that what is being dealt with will be used exclusively for unlawful purposes. This is supported by the permissibility of leasing a house to a non-Muslim for dwelling, even with the knowledge that he will commit unlawful acts therein.
