QUESTION
Many scholars are giving fatwas in Europe that people are allowed to take houses on interest under duress. My circumstances are such that we are living in the right house. I have two daughters. Husband works. The house rent is quite tight but still we don't want to incur interest. In the coming years, rents in the Netherlands will increase further. So my question is, what should we do in these situations? Can we take the house on interest? Or better yet, I should work as well and then due to the double income we will be able to pay the rent easily. Or take home the interest and work with me and eliminate the interest as soon as possible (from the bank from which the loan was taken). You will be very kind.
ANSWER
It is illegal and forbidden to take interest loans, there are strict promises on interest transactions in hadees, it is not permissible to take interest loans even for houses. If you are living on rent in the right house, then do not take a usurious loan to buy a house, even if you have to face a little hardship; However, while staying at home, you can also choose any source of income, there is no harm in it; But it is important to avoid interest debt.
