Question (Arshad - India):

Assalamu Alaikum. I have a doubt regarding loans involving interest. My dad says such loans can be taken for essentials[like building our home. My cousin brother says that loans with affordable interest rates are halaal even if its not for the above said essentials. His sister says that islam had prohibited loans with interests because during olden times interest rates were exponentially high, so therefore there is nothing wrong in taking loans with small interest rates. Which is right?
