House purchase financing in Muslim countries : buying a house on interest in Pakistan : [1]

Fatawa Question

Currently I am looking for a house to buy. Since it is virtually impossible to have the full price of the house in cash, and mortgages involve interest, what would you recommend I do in order to properly pursue this objective ? I am not even sure if this type of interest (mortgage) is acceptable in Islam or not, although my inclination is that it's not. I have also inquired about Islamic banks, but it is hard to find reliable information about them so far. Thank you much, Assalamu Alaikum, Omar
