The answer

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.
