Assalaamu alaikum brothers and sisters,
I hope everyone is in good health and high imaan insha'Allah. I have a legal question to pose. When we live in a non-islamic society, particularly a capitalistic one, where you can't avoid participating in Riba, what is a muslim to do when it comes to buying a house or going to school?? I feel overwhelmed because my knowledge on fiqh is very limited and I feel I don't know what sources to use to better understand the do's and don't's on this particular topic. Please direct me and anyone who is wondering about the same thing to have a clear understanding. Jazak'Allahu khairan. I pray that insha'allah Allah SWT opens the way for us out of Riba and may He SWT increase us in knowledge that benefits us. Ameen.
