  • Sin of interest related to person, not to money itself

    I have been given a large amount of money by the government in my country due to illness for a couple of months; it is completely halal money, Allaah willing. Now my father gave his bank details for the money to be transfered into his bank account rather than mine. In his bank account, he owes the bank money along with interest, which the bank will.. More

  • Striving to get rid of usurious loan

    Assalaamu alaykum, Sir. I have a problem. For the last four years of my engineering course expenses, we have dealt with a bank for an educational loan. I was not completely aware of what Islam says regarding interest. I only knew that it is haram for the one who takes it, but maybe not for the one giving it. We only took a loan of Rs.40,000 forone semester,an.. More

  • Ruling on income from business funded by unlawful capital

  • Car leasing contract that involves refundable interest

    Assalaamu alaykum. I have a question regarding car leasing. I have a business and would want to lease a car, but apparently there is interest in the lease. I live in belgium.

  • Using bank interest for trade or emergencies

    Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaah. I am a Muslim from India, and it is almost impossible to find an Islamic bank in our locality. Therefore, we are forced to keep our money for various reasons (e.g. online money transfer, ATM cards, but not obtaining interest) in non-Islamic banks, which involves dealing with interest. We get some interest on our money.. More

  • Taking mortgage to buy house

    I have been living in a non-Muslim country and have suffered a lot of abuse due to practicing my religion.

  • Riba in Fundbox.com loans

    Assalaamu alaykom. I just wanted to follow up on question 2623704.

So suppose that my client "A" has.. More

We all live together in a rented house with all my earnings going to my father.. More

  • Taking part in national savings schemes in return for tax rebate

    I am repeating the same question that I have asked before. You instructed me to refer to similar fatwas, but I did not get my answer in full by referring to the fatwas that you asked me to see.

The tenants used to pay us 1200 pounds, and we.. More
