Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

The Darul Iftaa has not approved any house financing products.

If you do come across any approved products, you may submit the contractual documentation for our review.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
