Is it permissible for a pharmacist to travel and leave his pharmacy in the custody of an untrained, non-pharmacist individual, with occasional follow-ups from him, and if not permissible, is it then permissible to rent it to another pharmacist who will work there with a non-pharmacist individual?

It is necessary to observe the law that prohibits the employment of non-pharmacists in pharmacies, as it achieves benefit and repels harm. Leasing a pharmacy to a pharmacist is permissible, but if a non-specialist works in it, the sin falls upon the lessor or the one who performed the work.
