The basic principle governing financial transactions with both Muslims and non-Muslims is that they are permissible if they meet the -compliant conditions and are free from prohibitions. An exception to this is anything that serves as a means to commit something forbidden, such as leasing a place to be used as a church or a temple or for selling prohibited items.
