Written Fatwa
Is it possible to buy a house with interest for once in non-Muslim countries?
I live in Belgium. When I want to buy a house with the intention of living, some scholars say that a one-time loan is permissible to buy a house. Some say it is not. On what basis do they issue this fatwa? Is it allowed to buy a house with interest only once in non-Muslim countries?
Yes, some scholars in Europe make such a statement. In our opinion, interest is haram in non-Muslim countries, either.
