Most scholars say an interest-based mortgage is haram because it involves riba, which the Quran forbids (2:275, 2:278). Some contemporary scholars and councils allowed it in non-Muslim countries when a person has no other way to get a home, treating it as a case of need. Others reject this. Look first for an interest-free alternative such as a Sharia-compliant home finance plan, and ask a scholar about your situation.
