Nterest-based financing of house and car is prohibited : rationale for the prohibition of interest financing of houses

Fatawa Question

Salaam, why is it Haram to have a mortgage ? What alternative would you suggest to people wishing to own there own place ? There are no Islamic banks so in such a situation why can we not take a mortgage ? I personally see renting as "dead money," at the end of the day what you're paying for is not yours. What is your opinion ?
