What is the ruling on the loan available on the Iraqi Housing Fund website?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible to take out an Iraqi housing loan because it is free of usurious interest.
- It is permissible to deduct a 2% administrative fee, provided it does not exceed the customary amount, so that it does not become a trick for usury.
- Life insurance is permissible if imposed by the state and the borrower finds no way to avoid it, because it is excused incidentally, not intentionally.
- The late payment penalty is null and void and not permissible, but it has become a widespread affliction. Therefore, it is excused for the citizen to contract with the state, provided that he intends to pay on time to avoid paying it.
