الجواب وباللہ التوفیق

With a non-interest based loan, it is allowed to build or buy a house or do business with. But you must have intention to pay back the loan and also have the means to return money.

However, to acquire unnecessary loan is discouraged, because Allah’s (SWT) Prophet Hazrat Mohammad (SAW) has said: “O’ Muslims, abstain from taking loans, because it creates  suffering and grief by the night and disgrace and humiliation during the day.
