Renting Out A Property
Assalam o alaikum.
I was wondering if I buy a house via a mortgage and then rent it out, is that haram? In the uk, the mortgage has ‘interest’ in it. Would that make me a partner of the bank in taking interest or could I consider it that I’m taking rent from the tenant and then returning the mortgage plus whatever interest the bank demands? I’m a bit confused on it. Someone told me that they discussed this with Ghamidi sahab 3 years ago and he told them that only buying a personal house with mortgage is allowed. I’m not sure what his opinion on this is. It doesn’t make sense to me and doesn’t seem like something that he would’ve said.
