Is Indexation Halal for University Fees?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Is indexation considered as riba? There are 2 methods to go to university

1. Paying upfront

2. Student loan (i know this is haram already but i just want to know about the 1st option whether it is actually halal because only a minority of Islamic scholars talk about this issue of inflation causing the prices to rise).

Bismillaah

A: This is not riba.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
