Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on taking a loan from a bank for the purpose of marriage or to buy a car?

Answer:
You may take a loan, as long as it is a permissible loan that contains no riba (usury or interest). Take it from whoever lends to you without interest and without anything else. A good loan is fine for marriage and for other things. However, taking a loan with interest is riba, and it is not permissible, neither for marriage nor for anything else. Yes.
