Are Islamic Mortgages Halal? Our View + Arguments For & Against

[@kalico27]

Although I completely appreciate your video as more knowledge on Islamic mortgage is crucial for our community, I do think this format is doing a disservice to those who truly have skepticism on the matter. If you could bring someone in who is truly on the other side of the argument and debate them, that would be more beneficial as it removes room for prearranged questions and answers which in turn would push this whole debate forward. Nonetheless, good material keep it up 👍🏼

[@Trave13r]

why is this so complicated? why cant we have simple structure. 1) bank buys the house. 2) sells it you with x amount of profit 3)you pay the bank in installments and the bank keeps the house as collateral till you complete your payment.

[@abelievereverrising283]

What you said sounds great to me

[@wordsmithsedit]

The issue comes down to the risk. If the bank buys the house, they need to take the risk alongside the profits. However, in Islamic mortgages, the bank requires the person to 1. Pay stamp duty, 2. Take out insurance, and 3. Pay for the maintenance. So they do not carry out any of the acts that a true owner does. An investment without any risk is the definition of interest, which is where the issue arises.

[@roberthannah7983]

@@wordsmithsedit I agree, why would Allah care which way you bought the house? The bank finances it for you, they make their profit and thats OK with me. Its not the same as exploitive riba from the time of the prophet.

[@wordsmithsedit]

@@roberthannah7983 I understand your point that exploitation is the main reason behind riba being haram. But it’s not the only reason. The underlying reason is overarching justice and equality. The riba-based system is inherently unfair and has macro-effects on the way business is conducted (e.g., a lender being more averse to risk than an investor, etc.)

[@roberthannah7983]

@@wordsmithsedit I think a lender should be risk averse if they want to - think of an elderly retiree with a modest investment and income who doesnt know much about finance. But another type of investor can take on lots of risk like a venture capital firm or a sophisticated entrepreneur - thats their job. The way it works out in modern finance is that an expected non-diversifiable equity risk premium is associated with the degree of risk associated with an investment (Bill Sharpe, Nobel prize, capital asset pricing model) - you earn added return for risk. For banks - there is a rather elaborate set of risk weighted capital allocation regulations banks have to follow - which didnt always work as we know! We dont want to ask banks to take on more risk - and they dont make good business partners in any case! There are lots of borrowers who are quite ok with fixed income loans - people with steady jobs, utilities and mature corporations with steady sales, and governments with tax revenue. Islamic scholars dont seem to contribute much to this discussion, except to issue the useful warning do not burden yourself with too much debt. If Islamic scholars are truly concerned about riba, they should promote truth in lending, consumer protection, and help control loan sharking and predatory lending.

[@roberthannah7983]

When you drill down into the rationale for prohibiting riba, the reasons scholars advance is that interest represents exploitation and unfairness. Consequently, an Islamic mortgage should be cheaper or more advantageous in some way. But it isn't, its more expensive than a conventional mortgage. The excuse provided is that the conventional industry is bigger and more efficient. That excuse rings hollow to someone trying to buy a home.

[@Confidential84]

I'm personally not convinced on the Islamic mortgages. However, I want to note a (perhaps unintended?) slightly disparaging tone is detected in the overly pompous and self-righteous cousin, which I can assure you isn't the character of those who genuinely oppose these mortgages for legitimate reasons.

[@TCt83067695]

Great observation. I thought it was mainly for comedic effect so I enjoyed it but I'm with you that the whole video felt like an infomercial to justify the lack of substantive difference between an Islamic mortgage and a non Islamic one.

[@kktg8370]

Agree, nice to do the contrast, but the tone was slightly off, as it casts the disagreeing side as self righteous, even if unintentionally.

[@quiteboy5397]

You give an analogy of fruit and beer, that pegging fruit to beer makes it comparable but not haram, what you miss though is far greater, how would you justify an increase in your mortgage repayment due to base rate increase? The fair way would be for both buyer and seller to agree on a price, and remain there on that price regardless of time, slice the cake whichever way you want...you have made an unspecified undetermined amount of money over time. That is riba.

[@junaidmahomed2132]

Oh just buy with cash. Why didn't anyone else think of that 🤔🤣

[@johncitizen5843]

You seem very naive. The whole point of islamic mortgages in the west is because hardly anyone can buy a house with cash. In pakistan you may be able to buy a house on cash but if you are a long term resident in the west then buying a house will later on become a necessity as your family grows as you would need a bigger house, more car spaces etc. Here where i live, $250,000 will only get you a shoebox.

This has not quashed my doubts and I switched off after the cousin character started speaking, I felt the tone mockingly undermined the whole debate. Would love it if you brothers released a real deep dive video or podcast on this topic. You have amazing resources at disposal and your content is usually A+. So many of us are on the cusp of making our biggest financial move and step towards financial freedom, and the mortgage / home finance topic is huge and mis-understood. Many time I've had to drag myself back to islamic finance mindset after turning my back due to the frustration of misunderstanding key concepts / products, and not seeing a clear strategy for earning an income e.g. through BTL due to the margins being so small. If you could release a vid / podcast discussing actual strategies to build property portfolios, or even point us in the right direction, you'd provide so much peace and focus to many of us struggling on making that key decision(s) with confidence. Though there isn't any other option, I'd certainly be content knowing why its the right option. Sorry for the essay, and jazakaAllahu khairan. Shuhad

[@nafdikyaaqsa]

Thank you for bringing this topic to the surface, Islamic mortgages/HPPs are fundamental. Of course, at the moment many banks across the board have withdrawn their 95% LTV which, if you were aiming for an Islamic HPP, has made it incredibly difficult to make any moves. Any predictions as to when these may return?

[@hasherazizi2588]

Let's be straight to the point and actually address the concern of this entire topic. First let's remove the concept of an Islamic bank in the west because they'll still be able to charge you interest and often times is more expensive than a conventional mortgage. Plus even a late payment when renting a home will cost you interest. Which was what was happening during the Prophet's time (PBUH), poor people were late on loan repayments and they were further burdened with interest which Allah condemned. So if someone is financially struggling, rent is unaffordable but a mortgage is. Would that not be the wiser option? Was interest not condemned by Allah because it made the lives of those who were trapped paying interest extremely difficult? Did Allah not condemn the one who "eats" interest in the Quran? While the Prophet (PBUH) cursed the one who pays interest and witnesses the contract alongside the one who charges it because they were all by association supporting the interest system? But does the same directly apply today where currency isn't gold and silver but a medium of exchange (paper money) that's easily manipulated in its value by the same people who push this interest system on everyone? Furthermore making a halal income in this world is already extremely difficult and near impossible when you want to make enough to entirely buy a house in modern times where the elite families controlling the fed reserves manipulate the housing market. The price of a home is more than 10x what it once was a few decades ago. This topic is a concern that needs the consensus of scholars that are well informed in a majority of topics applying to modern times, not just one who although intends well, speaks from a simple point of view of halal vs haram.

[@zhamed9587]

Regarding the Hadith that prohibits two contracts in one, let's look at how Ibn Abbas and Ibn Mas'oud, as well as later scholars like Ibn Taymiyyah agreed on its explanation. Ibn Abbas clearly said that the explanation of the Hadith is offering a product for two prices: a cash price up front, or a delayed price (usually higher) for a delayed payment, and the increase in price (regardless of option) is Riba. The Hadith says nothing about ambiguity or leaving the option open in the contract. The very fact that someone is increasing the price of an item in exchange for a delay in payment is Riba. This is the conclusion that the companions Ibn Abbas and Ibn Mas'oud followed, and I'm not aware of any other companion that had a different view. The so called "Murabaha" contract where a bank buys a car or a house and sells it for an increase in price in exchange for deferring payment is Riba, and Allah knows best.

@@johncitizen5843 It doesn't matter if an asset is involved in the transaction. Murabaha originally referred to what a trader does: buys one item for a given price and sells it for a higher price (e.g. buy wholesale for cheap and sell individual items for a higher price). There is nothing wrong with that. The "Islamic" banks came and took that term and applied to an almost surely Haram transaction whereby they increase the price of the item in exchange for postponing payment. Going back to my original comment, Ibn Abbas and Ibn Mas'oud prohibited this transaction, who are we to claim that this transaction is permissible? Ibn Abbas said this is a money for money transaction with an item in between (to mask the Riba involved). In an interest based mortgage, the buyer and seller (bank) agree on a price, does that make it Halal? Of course not. Agreeing on a price is not why it's Haram.

Can someone clarify below: 1. After buying a house if I need to move to another location and need to sell the house to buy in another location. How the Islamic mortgage can help when the property price drops during selling. Looks like I got stuck. 2. When the buyer looks after the property while staying in the house, does he get any additional benefits than a tenant? 3. Who pays for the upkeeping the house like painting exterior, repairs or replacing appliances etc. Normally the landlord bears these type of cost To my understanding, Islamic finance can be true Islamic if both parties work under the faith of Allah and with honesty. The Home buyer has to be honest and maintain the repair cost,, shares both profit and losses in a partnership basis but gets additional benefits for looking after the house (I mean little more than his financial contributions).

The way are different but the effects are the same.. so why Allah prohibited riba if 'the way' can be halal even though its still oppressed the poor
