Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
There is no objection to borrowing from the prospective bride or others for marriage or to meet needs, as long as the loan is non-interest-bearing, and the borrower intends to repay it. The borrower for the purpose of marriage is aided by Allah, for Allah Almighty says: "If they should be poor, Allah will enrich them from His bounty," and because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "There are three whom Allah has promised to help... and the one who marries, desiring chastity."
