Im in a bit of a sticky situation

My family have recently gotten a mortgage to buy our house

Now they want me to get a job so i can chip in and help pay for the mortgage

I know this mortgage is completely impermissible, and I wanted to have nothing to do with it, but now i'm inevitably being sucked in because i live under the same roof

Not helping to pay the mortgage will cause a lot of problems and arguments

What would you guys do/what should i do?

Jazakumullah khair


Wasalam

I don't know how those things work, but you shouldn't obey your parents if they're encouraging something haram. However you should speak to them kindly and advise them in the best manner what they're doing is wrong, so they'll be more likely to listen to you.

There are islamic institutes and banks in the UK which help with islmic loans towards buying property.
If the cost of the riba is hidden under some other name it is still riba. The only halal way to buy a house is to pay cash or use a loan that is really interest free. My parents dont even pretend to not pay interest on their house loan.
عيد مبارك Hope you've all had a very happy and blessed Eid today. Enjoy these amazing days with family and friends.

They know it's a big wrong, but they're not really fussed about it

:/

it's so silly, i swear. Putting your akhira at risk and getting involved in interest to buy a tiny, rundown council flat in london

The actions of others does not carry on to you.
You can look at it or give it as rent you pay.
Also if your family is not aware you can search and inform them of halal ways to buy property.


but surely if i help in paying, that will be my action and i would be responsible?

they're not interested. they've got the mortgage and they're not going back

Just make excuses why you can't get a job, uni starting etc. They'll get over it.
It's up to you what you wanna do, but personally I wouldn't contribute a single penny.

hmmmm, but i don't know if that would be considered as lying

btw, how are things, sister hanwar?
I was listening to a seerah lecture and I came across this:

Surat Al-Masad was revealed whilst Abu Lahab was still alive

All Abu Lahab had to do was become Muslim, and he would have disproved the Qur'an....
i know the internet can be a dodgy place to learn about the deen, but this is very interesting, and i thought i'd share.

Not good but thanks for asking.

If you're going to continue to live in the house i suggest you pay up to avoid arguments if you can afford to as i think a mortgage in these circumstances is a neccessity.
