It is permissible to conduct transactions with the bank if they conform to regulations, such as Murabaha or Istisna' sales. However, borrowing with interest to buy a house is not permissible except in cases of necessity. The Sharia regulations for Murabaha and Istisna' contracts have been defined in previous fatwas.
