The answer

It is not permissible to allow the sale of financial aid granted by the state to citizens as assistance in obtaining housing, because it violates the condition of the grant, and because the method of sale involves Sharia prohibitions such as Riba al-Fadl (usury of surplus) and Riba al-Nasi'ah (usury of delay), or the accumulation of two debts (ta'mir al-dhimmatayn).
