The Ruling on Buying a House in Europe in Installments Through the Bank

Question
Is it permissible to buy a house in Europe in installments through the bank?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The principle is that usury is forbidden in the lands of Muslims and non-Muslims, but it may be permissible at times in certain situations in non-Muslim countries due to necessity, and God knows best.
