The question

What is the ruling on subscribing to a state-affiliated housing association whose installments are paid to a usurious bank, especially if the subscriber did not own a house at the time of subscription but later bought one, and if it is impermissible, what should he do to expiate for that?

The answer

If the subscription to the state-affiliated housing association is for the purpose of purchasing a dwelling, and the association's installments are deposited in a usurious bank without there being a direct relationship with the bank, then there is no objection to it and no sin in it. This is because the matter is merely a referral from the seller (the association) to an agent for depositing the money.
