“Whoever among you wakes up secure in his property, healthy in his body, and he has his food for the day, it is as if he were given the entire world.”
Tirmidhi
What is the Islamic position today for Muslims in the UK on purchasing your own home? As the price of houses increase, the likelihood of owning your own home without some form of interest bearing loan is becoming near on impossible for the average Muslim.
Do you accept the fatwa that buying a house with a mortgage is acceptable as long as it’s your residential home?
