The answer

Borrowing from a bank with interest (riba) is forbidden () and is only permissible in cases of dire necessity, which does not include borrowing for university studies. One who errs in borrowing due to ignorance bears no sin, provided they did not neglect to inquire. It is not necessary to abandon university, but only the principal amount must be repaid, and future interest-based borrowing must be avoided.
