Question Summary: It is allowed to work as appraiser.?? Question Detail:
It is allowed to work as appraiser.
Answer :
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh It is not permissible to obtain an interest bearing loan for his client even though he himself will not be receiving any commission from the interest bearing loan. Interest is expressly prohibited in the Quran and Ahadith. It is also prohibited to be an active party in an interest bearing loan. Rasulullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said, “Allah’s curse is on the giver of interest, on the receiver of interest, on the writer of interest and on the witnesses of interest”. It is clear from the above mentioned hadith that the writer or witnesses may not be the giver or receiver of interest, they are merely writing down and witnessing the actual transaction. However, their active participation in an interest bearing deal is still condemned and prohibited. The appraiser will also be required to actively engage in obtaining the interest bearing loan which is similar to the witness witnessing the interest bearing loan. And Allah knows best Wassalam Mufti Ebrahim Desai
