Taking a Student Loan in the Eyes of Shari`ah
Dear scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum. I have been quite ignorant for some time in many aspects of Islam. I am in the process of learning how to read the Qur’an, and I have learned how to pray. My question is that during my "ignorant" period I took OSAP to fund my university education. Now I am told by many friends that what I am doing is considered haram. If one cannot afford to pay for university and they take a loan like OSAP, is this considered haram? Jazakum Allah khayran.
