Question

What is Muftisahib’s view on Jibaalus Salaam Estate? Would it be correct to purchase plots there in this Zamaanah?

Answer

Our view is that we haven’t yet reached that time where one has to relinquish the towns and go away into the mountains. Yes, if one intends to purchase a land for the future in order to go away into the mountains, to stay away from Fitnah, to be self-sufficient and be saved from the clutches of the Kuffar government, then one may purchase a land in the place cited in the query. However, one must take possession of the land and it should not only be some phantom pyramid scheme.
