The questioner:
He says: What is the ruling on borrowing someone else's land in order to apply to the Real Estate Development Fund to obtain a loan, and then returning it afterward?
The Shaykh:
These are ruses and lies, and ruses and lies are not permissible. If you have the means to own it, then apply. If you do not have the means, do not lie and do not resort to ruses.
The questioner:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
Sit in the courtyards of the Haram. Outside the gates, there is no prohibition. Outside the gates of the Haram, there is no prohibition.
