Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible to take out a loan for the purpose of marriage?

Answer:
Yes. The one who is in financial difficulty and fears for himself, who fears for himself from fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) if he does not marry, should marry even if he has to take out a loan. Allah is his helper. Allah helps the one who marries. It came in the hadith that
Among those whom Allah helpsمن الذين يعينهم الله
the one who marries seeking chastity. Yes.
