Taking out a mortgage loan

· 15 Muharram 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I would like to have complete fatwa on getting mortgage for personal home. Especially if your wife is more or less like a new Muslim and don't understand Islam very well. Can you go for a mortgage option or not?

Answer

This is impermissible and it involves interest.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
