Question
I currently live in a mortgaged flat and I have been living in the flat since 1990 and it is the only home I have and I am due to leave the country in two years time with my wife and kids to go to Egypt so can I use the money from the flat when I sell it to go to hajj and pay zakat and use a share for building a mosque so please give me your opinion and please tell me if the money is halal or haram thank you for your help
Answer
At the outset we wish to point out that it is not permissible to purchase a property/house, etc. on interest. However, proceeds from the sale of the house will be permissible. You may do whtever you wish to with the money.
