The questioner : In the bank... now, O Shaykh, everyone who wants to get married.

The questioner : They help him... they assist him in getting married.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Is this considered borrowing?
The Shaykh : And then do they demand repayment from him or forgive the debt?
The questioner : They demand repayment in monthly installments, which he pays...
The Shaykh : By Allah, we might say that since this comes from the state's funds, and the state's funds are for aiding Muslims, it does not fall under this category. Also, the person who takes from it does not suffer the humiliation that the person who takes from an individual suffers. So I hope there is no harm in this. Yes, Nasr.
