AMJA Resident Fatwa Committee resolution on US Islamic home-financing companies
AMJA Resident Fatwa Committee
What this source says
AMJA's Resident Fatwa Committee sorts US Islamic home-financing providers into tiers rather than issuing a blanket ruling. Providers whose contracts are genuinely Shariah-compliant are deemed permissible; those that avoid explicit interest but retain problematic clauses are permitted only in cases of need or dire need, scaled to the severity of the violation; and providers that remain interest-based in substance are not permitted. The committee stresses that rulings track each company's current contract and may change as contracts change.
