1 00:00:04,460 --> 00:00:07,980 Brother Fahd from Bisha, go ahead, you're on the line. 2 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:09,633 Salaam alaikum. 3 00:00:10,659 --> 00:00:14,275 Wa alaikum salaam. I have two questions, Sheikh. May Allah grant you success. 4 00:00:14,359 --> 00:00:14,640 Go on. 5 00:00:14,724 --> 00:00:20,579 First question: I want to buy a property, but I don't have cash. 6 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:29,280 I went to the bank. They said they would buy it from the owner and sell it to me 7 00:00:29,739 --> 00:00:33,259 over 20 years. Is this permissible, with it still mortgaged to them? 8 00:00:34,020 --> 00:00:34,715 Go on. 9 00:00:34,799 --> 00:00:36,840 Yes. He says he has property. 10 00:00:36,959 --> 00:00:44,399 The first question is whether the bank wants to buy it for itself. 11 00:00:45,039 --> 00:00:48,289 Then once the bank takes possession of it, it may sell it to you. 12 00:00:48,919 --> 00:00:52,519 After taking possession and owning it, there is nothing wrong with that. 13 00:00:53,479 --> 00:01:03,319 If the bank buys it for you and pays, then takes back more: riba, not allowed. 14 00:01:03,599 --> 00:01:05,819 The bank did not buy it to own it itself. 15 00:01:05,919 --> 00:01:13,939 Rather, it bought it for you and paid on your behalf. 16 00:01:14,023 --> 00:01:17,419 It loaned you the amount and recovers it with extra. 17 00:01:17,503 --> 00:01:19,839 That is forbidden, not allowed. Yes.
