Is it permissible for a poor university student, who is unable to work due to a spinal illness, and who fears falling into fornication, to take out an interest-bearing loan to establish a business from which he can marry and support himself, especially since he has not found anyone to give him an interest-free loan? And does this action fall under the principle: "Necessity makes the forbidden permissible"?
It is not permissible to take out a usurious loan for marriage, because it is one of the major sins and is not permitted except in cases of dire necessity, and marriage is not one of them. And whoever fears Allah and relies upon Him, He will provide for him and suffice him.
