Question:
We conclude this session with a message from the questioner Abu Ahmad. He says: Honorable Shaykh, I took a loan from the bank for the amount of forty thousand riyals, on the condition that I would repay it by paying sixty thousand riyals. I got married using this loan. Is this marriage valid or forbidden?
Answer:
The marriage is valid, but you are committing a sin with this loan because it is riba. However, if you repent to Allah and do not return to this matter, Allah will accept your repentance.
