Taking out a loan in order to get married
Question

                What is the ruling on taking out a loan in order to get married so that one can avoid zina?.
Praise be to Allah.
    There is nothing wrong with taking out a loan in order to get 
    married to keep oneself chaste, if he is able to pay it off. It is hoped 
    that if a person does that, Allaah will help him. Al-Tirmidhi (1655), 
    al-Nasaa’i (3120) and Ibn Maajah (2518) narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may 
    Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah  (peace and 
    blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There are three who are all entitled 
    to Allaah’s help: the one who fights for the sake of Allaah; the mukaatab 
    who wants to pay (the price of his freedom); and the one who gets married 
    seeking chastity.” This hadeeth was classed as hasan by al-Albaani in 
    Saheeh Sunan al-Tirmidhi. 

    And he  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: 
    “Whoever takes people’s wealth intending to pay it back, Allaah will enable 
    him to pay it back, and whoever takes it intending to destroy it, Allaah 
    will destroy him.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (2387).  

    But if he is not able to pay it back, then it is makrooh for 
    him to take a loan, whether that is for marriage or for anything else, 
    because the responsibility of debt is so great that the Prophet  (peace 
    and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said that the martyr will be forgiven 
    for everything except debt. Narrated by Muslim (1886). 

    Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

    “And let those who find not the financial means for 
    marriage keep themselves chaste, until Allaah enriches them of His Bounty”

    [al-Noor 24:33]

    The Prophet  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) 
    commanded those who could not afford to get married to fast, as was narrated 
    by al-Bukhaari (1905) and Muslim (1400). He did not tell them to take out 
    loans. 

    May Allaah help us and you to do that which He loves and 
    which pleases Him. 

    And Allaah knows best.
