Is it permissible to benefit from the interest of the Savings and Reserve Fund to build a house or get married, and then to donate it, knowing that one would be forced to take out a loan if one did not do so?

It is not permissible to use usurious savings benefits for building a house, getting married, or other matters, because the prohibition of usury is general, and what has been mentioned does not fall under the necessities that permit the forbidden. These benefits must be disposed of by giving them to the poor and needy or to Islamic charitable organizations.
