Fatwa #834610 April 2003South Africa
I need to buy a car. Albaraka Bank's pre-Requisites I cannot meet as I do not have so much to put down as deposit. will it be permissible to take a bank loan on interest?
Question
I only have a 10% deposit for a car that's R50000. Is there any one other bank that will assist me without interest besides Albaraka ?
Answer
It is not permissible to take an interest bearing loan.
We are not aware of any bank that will offer you an interest free loan.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
