Taking a Loan for the Benefit of Others

Question
What is the ruling on taking a loan for my father knowing that I will not take from it or benefit from it in any way, as the benefit is solely for my father?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is permissible if the loan meets the Sharia conditions without interest, then you can gift it to the father, or lend it to the father while he pays it back to you in installments, and God knows best.
