The answer

It is not permissible to rent out shops to those who sell prohibited items such as alcohol, pork, and cigarettes, because doing so involves an endorsement of or assistance in committing what is forbidden. This is prohibited whether in Muslim or non-Muslim countries, as it constitutes cooperation in sin and aggression.
