Re: Blurring the lines between right and wrong...a new trend

Ok so I want to ask since interest is haram. Of course we all know that, how do we buy a car or umm a house or work on our credit so we can buy something later on in life???

However mentioned interest and cc, did you buy cars and house on cash?? I sometimes think about this and I don't know what the best option is.

I trace back to roots of flooding in this thread.....

you really want me to do that???

To get to the root of the problem, we first need to understand the whole issue first. So let me now suggest to you 12 video clips on YouTube tittled “Islam & the International Monetary System”. Here I am posting the first part, watch all 12, then you (just like me) will understand everything:

:smack: I am no mulla or an expertise.

Lets take interest as an example. Everyone know it is haram but the new islamic mortgages re-lablel the interest part and call it “rent” or “fees” instead of interest.

Blurry yes.

credits cards, leases, CDs - if you go into the nitty gritty - it’s blurry for me.

Thanks that's awesome. I haven't bought anything yet however i studied on student loans that I am trying to pay off. I feel bad about those but I know I didn't have an option.

Now since I am married, car, house etc. This is something we wanted to know.

clean your chasMA plzz :phati:

36

In that case please also look up Sheikh Imran Hosein's books on Amazon. But only after you have watched all 12 of his videos (as they are part of one lecture).

I dont want to be advocate for someone but just FYI, there is another difference in Islamic and non-Islamic mortgage. If for some reason, you can not pay your mortgage, you dont lose your house, instead its sold and you get your share while in regular mortgage bank gets its money back by auctioning the house and you get kicked out…

if someone want to get into it, there really is no gray area as far as interest is concerned, lying, wasting food, money etc are concerned and all these are common practice in muslims (including myself)

38

It isn't so clear to me. I can't judge a book by it's cover and I can't do that to people either.

I understand Reha is saying that don't JUSTIFY wrongs as rights but everything is blurry.

Lets look at Pop culture -

internet chat between non mehrams? halal or haram?

Interest is haram. However the modern banking system does not incorporate Islamic values. So you can either place your money in an Islamic bank or take interest. But to be honest Islamic banks do not really make it that halal either. Their form of return on savings is akin to interest. They just don't use the word and it is not a constant number.

^ many islamic banks do offer true Profit/Loss accounts but not many people agree to take a risk of loss. All they want is profit, profit and profit :)
