We forwarded your question to the office of grand Ayatollah Bahjat (may his soul rest in peace) and the answer which came to us is as under:
If the mortgage facility is received in the form of a sale [contract], there is no problem in it.
[Note: In an Islamic mortgage transaction, instead of loaning the buyer money to purchase the item, a bank might buy the item itself from the seller, and re-sell it to the buyer at a profit, while allowing the buyer to pay the bank in installments.]
