Q: Is it permissible to take out riba in order to avoid becoming homeless? I am a revert muslimah that quit college to avoid taking out more riba but I have yet to find a job and will soon be homeless since there is no family or friends I can stay with. My student loans were large enough to support me the entire semester with a part time job but since im not in school I have no job (it was a student job) and no more money. The Qur'an is very clear on riba but what else do I do? I already asked for money from my local musjid.
A: It is not permissible to take a loan on interest. We suggest that you go to the Jamiat of your locality and ask them to financially assist you.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
