I currently live in a mortgaged flat and I have been living in the flat since 1990 and it is the only home I have and I am due to leave the country in two years time with my wife and kids to go to Egypt so can I use the money from the flat when I sell it to go to hajj and pay zakat and use a share for building a mosque so please give me your opinion and please tell me if the money is halal or haram thank you for your help
Answer:
At the outset we wish to point out that it is not permissible to purchase a property/house, etc. on interest. However, proceeds from the sale of the house will be permissible. You may do whtever you wish to with the money.
and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
