What is the ruling of the Sharia on a person borrowing from a usurious bank to hold his son's wedding despite his apparent lack of need for it? Is it permissible to accept the invitation to this wedding and eat from its feast? And what is the ruling on one who took out a usurious loan to build a house to marry his son in it, claiming necessity? Is it permissible to go to his wedding and eat from its feast for fear that the food might be from the loan money?

It is not permissible to borrow with interest except out of dire necessity. If someone borrows to build a house for his married son, and he cannot find him housing even for rent, then there is no harm in that. The borrower of usury must be advised, and it is legislated to ostracize him if ostracization is beneficial in deterring him. However, if ostracization is not beneficial, then it is not legislated, and one should continue to advise him.
