Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. This is a question that came from the UAE.

So, am I allowed to live in this house or rent it out?
Answer:
No, this is not permissible. As for renting it out, he rents it out, and the rent is attached to the pledge. As for living in it, you do not live in it. Yes.
