Many banks in pakistan offer loan without interest for HAJ. Is this allow in Islam to take loan from bank without interest and give some of the % before and rest in instalment after HAJ. If no then why Banks like meezan , dubai islamic offering it.

In the name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh

Without referring to any bank, in principle, providing loans is highly encouraged to a needy person.[1]

(Sunan Ibn Mājah, Vol.2 , Pg.812, Dārul Fikr,Bairūt)

According to Dārul Iftā’s research, every bank has its own conditions in providing interest free loans for Umrah and other purposes. Therefore, kindly provide us the details/conditions of that particular bank which is willing to provide such a loan. We will clarify then accordingly.

And Allāh Ta῾āla Knows Best
