Question

Assalamu-Alaikum Mufti Saheb I intend buying a house through Albarakah bank . Is their form of finance in accordance with Shariat ? Was Salaam

Answer

To the best of our knowledge, Albarakah Bank purchases the house and resells it at a profit, which is shared with their shareholders according to the Mudhaarabah partnership.

The concept is correct. We advise you enquire from the bank their procedure in doing so and forward that to us. We shall comment thereafter.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
