As salaam alaikum brother, Jazakallahou khairan for all the beautiful advise for the seek of Allah, please what do you think of UIF Muslims organization that helps poor Muslims like us .
They said that the way their earned they profit is that ,when a Muslim brother or sister came to them to buy a house if you alegeble (meaning if they agree with your application)you choose the house you wanted and they buy it and resell to you with a slice of profit.
For example:if the house cost one hundred thousand dollars,their will resell to you at 120.000 dollars,but before their agree to your application you need to have a good credit score which always follows with riba.
Isn’t credit in conventional loan or bank Haram for the sincere believers?so I’m very confused , please base on your sincere advice I will make my decision.
Jazakallahou khairan
