Purchasing a father's house that is mortgaged to a real estate bank
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man says: I bought my father’s house from him, and there is a financial amount on the house from the real estate bank. Is the remaining amount a debt on me or on my father?
Answer:
The debt is on your father, and the house is mortgaged to the bank. It is not permissible to sell it except with the bank’s permission. The bank has a system; it will sell it to you without referring to the bank, because it is mortgaged, and a mortgage is not sold except with the permission of the one who mortgaged it. But in any case, the debt remains in the liability of the one who took the money from the bank. Yes.
