Muslims halalising riba in the West?

[Homerlilian2.0]

I don’t like that subreddit but they’re correct. Somalis are the only people who fell for the no riba stuff that other muslims don’t care about. Arab & south asian sheikhs are telling somalis not to buy homes because of riba but turn a blind eye to their people doing the same thing. What is there to be proud about? Your peers and their families own their homes but you don’t? That’s shameful

what do you mean what is there to be proud of ????

it’s great thing our people have zero tolerance for something as major as this . Be careful of what you say @Gracias .

With respect, we are not sheep, and we don’t have to blindly follow what others do. Who cares what those that are leading people astray say? Our lives should be dictated by the Quran and the Sunnah.

You can take loans out of necessity.

You need to have a credit card in order to get a credit history and score to be able to rent for example.

I honestly never knew how much somalis hated riba until last year.

There's a shit ton of middle and upper class Muslim Americans in Texas. No one is shunning these Arab and Asian american homeowners for using riba.
These folks aren't raising their children in the hood.

I'm honestly starting to wonder how many somalis are actually this bothered about mortgages. Are the ones causing a scene about this issue only a minority within our communities?? @Keep it a boqol @Gracias @Medeea

mortgages have been completely normalized in middle class Muslim American communities.

your in texas the majority of muslims are south asian descent they follow the hanafi school of thought. They’re rulings are more moderate and liberal compared to the hanbali and shafii rulings that’s most somalis follow knowingly or unknowingly.

Many scholars permit taking a mortgage if you’re going to live in the house. The same applies to student loans and other absolute necessities like cars (assuming you don’t already have one).

This one is exactly what i’m talking about here, they like to bring that one up to justify it along with people in the past were poor so they were more prone to suffering and doesn’t apply today when you have money and are certain to pay it off etc…

Riba is such a crazy topic, it’s one of the main reasons why the west surpassed the muslim world, more easy access to capital, insured western nations could finance entire armies on credit, it also allowed them to take on more risky operations through risk sharing like the spice trade.

Biggest Fumble Muslims made was not discovering North America before Europeans and the Ottoman Empire banning the printing of paper
