Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it considered a blameworthy matter to focus on owning a home for oneself and one's children, and is one restricted to renting?
Answer:
No, it is required that he seeks to own a residence for himself and his children and strives to obtain it. There is nothing wrong with this; it is among the necessities. Housing is among the necessities, and he strives to obtain it. It is not said to him, "Do not strive and limit yourself to renting." That is not what is required. Yes.
