The question

What is the ruling on taking an interest-bearing loan from an Islamic bank for the purpose of building a home for young siblings? And is this loan considered a form of "prolonged hope" (ṭūl al-amal), and will one be held accountable for it in the event of death before repayment?

The answer

Parallel Istisna' (manufacturing contract) is permissible in Islamic law. This occurs when the owner of a plot of land or a house agrees with a bank to construct a specific project, and the owner pays the price in installments. The bank then contracts with another builder to construct the project at a lower cost. A good intention does not transform something prohibited into something permissible.
