What do the learned scholars and muftis say about the issue of an advance (pagdi) being given to the owner to purchase a house? What is its Sharia status? What is the Sharia status of giving advance money? Please guide me in the light of the Quran and Sunnah. Jazakallah Khaira.
Giving a house or a property as rent and giving a certain period of rent or a certain amount of money as a security advance are both permissible and correct according to Sharia and are considered loans. If the question is regarding the custom known as Pagdi, then it should be clarified and the Sharia ruling should be sought again.
