We are all betrayed by Guidance Residential. There is nothing Islamic about it. I bought a house and Guidance financed it a couple of years ago. I am receiving bills from American Bank for my monthly payments. There is interest (riba) in my bill, LLC fee, and some other fees. There is no difference between this bank and other American bank. I feel deceived and sinful for this deal.
Liars 😂. Full of fake scholars. Fannie and Freddie. Sells your loan to Us Bank or others. Don’t fall for their lies and trap. Their source of income is interest based. Khallas.
I searched AMJA website: The ruling of the RFC Committee concerning this company is that it is permissible to deal with them in the face of need. The representatives of this company are advised to review those defective portions of their contract.
Shekh i brought my home in 2007 the house when i bought it it was new houses for $247k after 14 year just mis some payment in 2009 but still i have to pay afte 14 year making payment $210k remain ,
Yes that’s because guidance is a scam about not halal at all. Don’t believe in these paid scholars by guidance. The truth is, just like a traditional mortgage, you’re paying interest mostly for the first 15 years of your payment. Very little amount goes into your principal, therefore you’re not really the owner of the home. Once you start making payments after the 15 year mark, you start paying more principal and less interest. This is clearly haram because in the first 15 years you can lose your job, die, etc and in that case they will take your house back and you’ll be on the streets.
Dont try to fool Allah by ideas like these! simple Bank buy house for 300K and sell it to the customer for 320K on straight up payments! how about this, the bank is making 20k and the customer got a house on payments. Islamic way is simply sell me a house that you own and I make payments for the exact amount. The story of renting and musharaka is similar to riba, is a joke! musharaka will cost way more than regular riba.
Why all the figures that talks about Guidance loan are South Asian why not Arabic middle eastern Scholars? I do not have much confident on deshi scholars. I spoke with some home buyers that borrowed money from Guidance and they are telling me in Guidance you end up paying more. Asked few imams and they are not giving green signals about it either. I wish we had some scholars from middle eastern put their thought on this.
tom kim Asalamualikom, I think this article will help you. It’s from AMJA scholars who are representing United States Imams and most of them from the Middle East. www.amjaonline.org/en/articles/entry/amja-resident-fatwa-committee-resolution-about-islamic-home-financing-companies-in-the-us
