🧵 Is it permissible to take a bank loan or mortgage to buy a house?

In his letter dated 16 May 2023, Huzoor (aa) provided the following guidance:

“Islam has strictly forbidden any loan upon which interest is taken or given. As it is stated:

[Al Hakam @AlHakamWeekly]

‘O Ye who believe, be mindful of your duty to Allah and relinquish your claim to what remains of interest, if you are truly believers. But if you do it not, then beware of war from the side of Allah and His Messenger.’

(Surah al-Baqarah, Ch.2: V.279-280)

“Therefore, any

[Al Hakam @AlHakamWeekly]

sale, purchase, or financial transaction that is mixed with interest is, in any event, forbidden [haram]. However, if a loan is available without interest, there is no harm in buying a house or conducting business with such a loan.

“If you are asking about buying a house

through the mortgage system prevalent in the Western world, then in this method, a loan is generally obtained from a bank or a financial institution. And until this loan is repaid, such a house remains the property of the lending bank or financial institution. The bank or

financial institution also charges a certain extra amount on this loan, the reason for which they state is the devaluation of money.

“Since in these countries, not every person can easily buy a house even for their own residence, they either have to live in a rented house for

life, from which they derive no benefit from the rent paid throughout their life other than living in the house, because despite paying such a large amount in rent, this house never becomes their property. Or, in these circumstances of necessity, they take advantage of their

[Al Hakam @AlHakamWeekly]

entire mortgage facility to buy a home for their residence. For this, they have to pay a mortgage instalment that is approximately the same as the rent they would be paying for a house. However, the benefit they receive from a mortgage is that after the payment of these

[Al Hakam @AlHakamWeekly]

instalments the house becomes their property.

“Therefore, buying a house through a mortgage is a state of necessity and compulsion [iztirar], from which one may benefit only to the extent of buying one house for one’s own residence. However, using this mortgage method to

[Al Hakam @AlHakamWeekly]

continuously buy house after house as a business is by no means correct, and the Jamaat does not encourage this matter at all; rather, it forbids it.
“As for the matter of simply buying the shares of various companies, there is no harm in that, because this too is a form of

[Al Hakam @AlHakamWeekly]

business with a partnership in profit and loss, although a great deal of caution is required in it, as there is a high possibility of deceit in this business.

“However, if the situation is that one is buying shares one moment and selling them the next, and one’s gaze is

fixed on the stock market’s index board from morning till evening, then this would be a situation resembling a lottery, the prohibition of which no one denies.”

The reactions have been split – some, very sympathetic. Others, not so much due to his views.

Should Muslims celebrate his death or condemn it? Has the world gained anything from his passing?
