Is it permissible to use a non-riba housing loan, designated by the Customs and Indirect Tax Administration, for other purposes such as marriage and study after selling the property?
Originally, taking taxes and customs duties is forbidden (), and working in it is forbidden because it is assisting in injustice. However, some taxes are forbidden, and some are permissible. If the funds the administration will lend you are from your work in forbidden taxes, then it is not permissible for you to accept them, even if they are without interest. This is also the case if they are with interest, or if they are without interest and your company pays the interest on your behalf to another source. However, if the loan meets the conditions for permissibility, and the taxes you work with are of the permissible kind, then you may spend it as you wish. It is not permissible for your administration to stipulate that you spend it in a specific way, because conditions in a loan are void, except those that are for the purpose of documentation.
