So op is special, and this thread is pointless
The Reformation had a lot to do with the change in the Christian view towards usury.Interesting - surprised it isn't a bigger deal for Christians then as well being the same God and all though Jesus wasn't exactly a fan of those old money lenders.
So basically follow the rules that suite you.I am a muslim. But I do have a mortgage. I was informed by imams that this is allowed as having a home to live in is a fundamental necessity.

Part of the ‘new’ Protestant denomination was a relaxation of usury laws.
Technically it’s still a sin in the eyes of the Catholic Church, but they’ve changed the definition of usury to ‘extortionate interest’ rather than just ‘interest’.
There’s also a long history between Christianity and Islam, and Judaism (only Jews were allowed to charge interest and became defacto bankers).
Obviously it’s much more complicated than that, but Christianity’s approach to usury isn’t quite as simple as it first appears.

They also can’t get tattoos and men can’t wear gold rings. Statues in the house are a no-no too. Bizarre but true.I genuinely had no idea that Muslims couldn't take/give loans with interest. Guess every day is still a school day.
I want her to get a student loan. She is the one who shows doubt.So surely is your daughters education?
I mean you've already ****** off god by ignoring the rule let her do the same you can just ask for forgiveness each day I case you die one car crash and be all good
Lets not go in that direction. I think much has been said about renting in this forum.What’s wrong with renting?

Not easy to save. Besides, muslims tend to have lots of children.I agree 100% with this, especially as Muslim parents know this and therefore should plan and save accordingly. It’s not as if you wake up to find you have an 18-year old child that needs a University education.

I asked her where she obtained this idea that Muslims cannot get student loans. She refused to answer. My impression is she got it from the Internet.
My daughter is a devout muslim. In the past we discussed student loans, which she was against. I assumed that the school would help her with the application, just like the personal statement when applying to University.This.
Although as interesting this thread has been to read, i do feel OP should have prepped his daughter way before asking her how her student loan application was going? That part makes zero sense to me. I'm calling shenanigans on this thread.
I mean surely you would know this? If you're super into your faith?
So basically follow the rules that suite you.

Well there’s your answer, don’t have so many kids then it will be easier to provide for their education.Not easy to save. Besides, muslims tend to have lots of children.
GD is not the place to ask this. Talk to your Imam.
