Is it permissible or impermissible to buy a house in installments with interest from the Arab Real Estate Bank, which owns part of the property before purchase, knowing that this is the only available method to buy a house and there is no other housing?
If the bank is authorized by the company to sell, whether immediately or deferred, there is no objection to purchasing the property through it, provided that it adheres to শরী'ah guidelines and does not involve any prohibited شرعی matters, such as stipulating an increase in case of delayed payment. However, if the bank is not authorized, purchasing is not permissible unless the bank fully owns the property before selling it to the buyer, while observing the شرعی conditions and guidelines.
