What is the ruling on taking a goodly loan designated by the university for the purpose of completing studies and marriage, with the intention of repayment, given the father's unawareness and his desire to postpone the marriage?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Borrowing is permissible, especially when needed. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to borrow. If a son needs to get married and longs for it, and he is able to marry by taking out a loan, the father is not allowed to prevent him, because doing so would cause him harm and open doors to forbidden acts, especially in a mixed university environment where temptations are numerous.
