Borrowing from the Women's Fund
My financial situation is difficult, and I have four months of unpaid rent for a broken house and five utility bills for electricity and water. I have no job, and during the holiday, I did not buy clothes for myself or my daughters. I do not receive any biometric assistance or any help from the commission, and I am Syrian. Am I allowed to take the women's loan (the loan is 800 dinars, with 200 dinars interest), meaning I would repay 1000 dinars, knowing that the landlord I rent from is threatening to evict me if I do not pay the accumulated rent?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: This loan is usury, and it is forbidden and a major sin. We do not seek God's relief through disobedience; rather, you are in dire need to draw closer to God, the Exalted, so that He may provide for you from His bounty. You should look for another permissible means to seek lawful sustenance. And God knows best.
