One does have other options that are available besides an interest-based mortgage and to help in this matter, we offer a few suggestions. There are certain types of contracts in terms of buying a house which would be permissible, and you can read this fatwa by Mufti Tosir sahib which explains them in detail: <u><a href=\"http:\/\/daruliftabirmingham.co.uk\/islamic-mortgage\/\">Islamic Mortgage \u2013 Darul Ifta Birmingham<\/a><\/u>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">One can also live in a rented house, or borrow the money from friends and family to buy a house outright and then repay them over a period of time. One may also move to a country where house prices are cheaper. As there are currently a number of options available with which the necessity of a house can be fulfilled, there is no possibility of making something as severely prohibited as interest become permissible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"#sdfootnote1anc\">1<\/a> \u0648\u0647\u0648 \u0641\u0636\u0644 \u0645\u0627\u0644 \u0628\u0644\u0627 \u0639\u0648\u0636 \u0641\u064a \u0645\u0639\u0627\u0648\u0636\u0629 \u0645\u0627\u0644 \u0628\u0645\u0627\u0644 &#8211; \u0643\u0646\u0632 \u0627\u0644\u062f\u0642\u0627\u0626\u0642 \u2013 \u062c\u0644\u062f 2 \u2013 \u0635 318 \u2013 \u0645\u0643\u062a\u0628\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0628\u0634\u0631\u0649<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Only Allah knows best<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Written by Mufti Mohammed Haroon Hussain<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Checked and approved by Mufti Mohammed Tosir Miah<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Darul Ifta Birmingham<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fatwa ID: 07111 &nbsp; Answered by: Mufti Mohammed Haroon Hussain &nbsp; Question: &nbsp; It is famous that some UK muftiyaan kiraam issue a mutlaq fatwa&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[17],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/daruliftabirmingham.co.uk\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30328"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/daruliftabirmingham.co.uk\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/daruliftabirmingham.co.uk\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/daruliftabirmingham.co.uk\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/daruliftabirmingham.co.uk\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30328"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/daruliftabirmingham.co.uk\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30328\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30491,"href":"http:\/\/daruliftabirmingham.co.uk\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30328\/revisions\/30491"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/daruliftabirmingham.co.uk\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30328"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/daruliftabirmingham.co.uk\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30328"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/daruliftabirmingham.co.uk\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30328"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
