What must the expatriate student and his family do concerning the money he paid to repair the non-Muslim landlord's television, knowing that the television might be used for unlawful purposes, and what are the implications if this situation recurs, and does he bear the sin of whoever watches television after he leaves the apartment?

Assisting a person in sin, if indirect or unintended, is considered permissible. Examples include commercial dealings with those who use something for both lawful and unlawful purposes, without the intention of aiding in the unlawful. Therefore, there is no blame on the student who rented the apartment and did not directly commit an abomination, nor intended to assist in an abomination with the rental money. Similarly, there is no blame on one who rented an apartment and left it without adding or removing television channels. Rather, the sin falls upon the one who used the television for something unlawful, and then upon its owner who added the prohibited channels.

If the situation recurs, the tenant is not liable for defects in the house's facilities and contents except in cases of transgression or negligence; their repair is the responsibility of the owner.
