Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner from outside this country says: One of the people in the West issued me a fatwa permitting the purchase of a house with a riba loan, so I did it. What is obligatory for me now that I have learned of its prohibition? And am I allowed to rent out this house and use the rent to pay off this loan?
Answer:
By Allah, regarding the house that involves riba, get rid of it and do not continue to own it, as it is from a riba price.
