What is the ruling on selling water toys and renting chalets and swimming pools that may lead to the exposure of 'awrah (intimate body parts)? And is this considered direct or indirect assistance in sin? And what is the ruling on installing water toys in a family chalet with the fear that it may be rented to those who disobey Allah in it? And is this considered assistance in sin?
The fundamental principle concerning transactions and games is permissibility, unless there is evidence proving otherwise. Therefore, it is permissible to sell, rent, and install games, except for someone who is known to use them for something unlawful, because assisting in sin is prohibited. However, apprehension based merely on suspicion is not given weight, especially since the appearance of some 'awrah during play is incidental and not intentional. Users of games should be reminded of the obligation to adhere to Islamic guidelines, such as covering 'awrah and avoiding prohibited free mixing. Furthermore, those in charge of game establishments should prevent individuals who do not adhere to Islamic guidelines from entering.
