Taking a loan from the bank

Q: My question is that we are in USA and can not buy a home on cash because it is impossible. So because of compulsion can we take a loan from the bank due to compulsion?

A: The majority dealings of all conventional banks are in total contradiction with the laws of Shari'ah. Their main operation revolves around interest and usury. For further details refer to http://muftionline.co.za/node/2145

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
