Of course it’s Haram but I've heard 3 different opinions on it.\n1) It’s haram and you should stay away from it, if you don’t have cash to buy a house, you have the option to rent.\n2) Because we live in America it’s okay, as long as you have the intention to pay it off asap in regards to buying a house/car.\n3) Riba is okay because you’ll know how much you’ll end up paying at the end of the term.","answer":"Riba is haram, period. There are islamic financing options out there.","tags":[{"_id":"668da01b0b76658b4c232e51","tag":"Contemporary Life: Interest","count":34}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:42:26.407Z"}
