"Ustaz, I have tried to seek financing from Islamic banks but they rejected it. Would it be sinful to get a riba-based financing from a conventional bank and would it be considered as dharurat?" a man asked me.
Hence in this case, is it dharurat or hajiat if an application is rejected by one Islamic bank?
Every bank and Takaful organizer has their own credit evaluation process. Banks also have their own target market and may not offer a full spectrum of financing. For example, some Islamic bank does not offer car financing, other bank does not finance used car purchases while for some they offer financing for used car but limited to certain brands. Hence, a rejected application at one Islamic bank does not imply that other Islamic banks will also reject your application.
Consider a simple example: You are planning to rent out your apartment for RM800 as you are paying the bank RM750 in installment. A man is interested in leasing it but does not have a secure job. Will you lease it to him? In this case, you have to prepare a proper budget in order to profit and at the same time ensure you meet the monthly payment to the bank.
