Q: My dad took a credit card back in Oman and told us that he is taking it for emergency purposes and told us that he will pay back the bill within 52 days as to avoid interest according to the bank. We lately moved back to Pakistan and used the entire credit card while coming and now we have the money but 52 days end on this 15th and we have kept the money but can't find any source. So If God forbids we can't pay back before the 15'th and the interest is charged and if we only repay the principle amount but not the interest, will we be punished? Is it haram?

Q: Six years ago I applied and received a student loan from Iqraa Trust. At this point in time I was not aware that majority of their funds received is Interest money from financial institutions. My questions are:

1. Have I committed a sin by accepting the student loan without knowing it is interest?

2. Can I repay the loan that they gave me using Interest money?

3. Will students who know that it is Interest money but accepts it as a student loan to be repaid back be sinful?

Make maaf for asking such a question, but after doing some research I found out that their is no Aalim on their board or who is associated with them that could guide me on this issue.
