س: ما الحكم الشرعي في الحالات التالية:

الحالة الأولى: عند الزبير توجد الآلة الكهربائية يحتاج إليها، و لكن آلته الكهربائية قد فسدت، و الزبير يريد تصحيحها؛ الزيد عنده مصنع خاص لتصحيح الآلات الكهربائية التي قد فسدت، و الزيد يقول للزبير أن عليه أن يدفع مئة دولار إذا كان يريد تصحيح هذه الآلة؛ و لكن الزبير ليس عنده إمكان لدفع مئة دولار مباشرة، لأنه لا يملك مئة دولار؛ و فيصل يقول للزبير: "أنا أعطيك مئة دولار، و لكن عليك أن يرجع لي مئة و عشرون دولار - مئة دولار إرجاعا للدين، و عشرون دولار أجرة و ربحا لي بسبب المساعدة لك في إزالة مشكلتك." (و إرجاع النقود أثناء عشر أشهر بأقسام متساوية بإثنى عشر دولار كل شهر) و الزبير رضي على هذه الشروط. هل في شروط فيصل يوجد الربا؟

الحالة الثانية: نفس الحالة، و لكن فيصل قد دفع مئة دولار مباشرة للزيد، و بعد ذلك ألزم على الزبير أن يرجع له مئة و عشرون دولار بأقسام متساوية أثناء عشر أشهر بإثنى عشر دولار كل شهر - مئة دولار إرجاعا للدين و عشرون دولار أجرة و ربحا بسبب مساعدته للزبير في إزالة مشكلته. (يعني في الحالة الأولى فيصل قد أعطى النقود للزبير نفسه، و لكن في الحالة الثانية أعطى النقود للزيد لا للزبير) و الزبير رضي على هذه الشروط. هل في شروط فيصل يوجد الربا؟ 

Q: I am a 36 year old man who was born and lived in India for 20 years and moved to North America now. I am married and have 2 children. Now I am thinking about buying a home on bank loan and of course there will be interest involved. Will this stop me performing Hajj? We (wife & I) did our Umra last year (2012) Allhumdulillah.

Q: My question pertains to interest which I know is forbidden in Islam and is seen as a great sin. But in the UK, through mortgages, insurances, etc., it seems virtually impossible to avoid riba (interest). I have looked into Islamic banking in the UK but I see it to be an awful alternative as it still essentially charges riba but with some clever play on words and has been dismissed by the consensus of scholars. So my question is: how do you live in the UK without participating in interest as I am struggling to see alternatives?

Q: If we keep our money in savings account or fixed deposit account in a general bank then is it lawful to use the interest money the bank is giving on the money? Moreover what does shariah say about taking home loan or car loan or education loan?

Q: A certain person owns a business and is the landlord at the same time. He decides to sell the business and lease out the property to the person who bought his business. The bank is loaning the buyer the money to purchase the business. The bank requests that the seller of the business (who is also the landlord) sign a document in which he agrees that if the purchaser of the business defaults, then the bank has the right to take over the lease (in other words, they will continue to pay the landlord rent until they find someone to purchase the business from them).

Is it permissible for the seller of the business to sign this agreement with the bank?

Q:

1. Car financing or house morgage is halal?
2. Getting interest from a non Muslim bank is halal for a Muslim?

Q: My mother knew I was owing someone money so when the person came to buy from the place she works, she gave a discount which I paid. I only knew of this when she told me which was after she sold the item with a discount. So will this be valid?
