Question
Is it permisible to let a part of your shop to shoprite ?
we shall make an agreement preventing them from selling alchohol.

Will the income be halaal ?
Answer
Muhtaram / Muhtaramah
In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāh wa-barakātuh.
Yes, the rental income will be permissible, as majority of their income is acquired through permissible transactions. However, it is advisable to dispose of the percentage of haraam sales conducted by Shoprite from your rental income.
