Is it permissible to apply for an apartment within the social housing project due to current living conditions, its distance from work, and the ill-treatment by neighbors, coupled with the inability to afford better housing?
Here, the ruling follows the system of purchasing in social housing. If it is free from usury (riba) and other religiously forbidden matters, then there is no objection to it. However, if it involves an usurious transaction, then it is not permissible except out of a recognized religious necessity.
