[QUOTE="WinterApproaches;49836729"]He can and he did.
Islam explicitly teaches you to obey the laws of the land you live in. It does not belong to you, and so you must respectfully abide by its rules. If there exists a severe clash, for example, if praying were to become illegal(would never happen, but lets say it did)- then you would have to leave. In this instance, with the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer; just because he attempts to avoid it in some circumstances and doesn't in others doesn't mean wrongful inconsistency. In the case of not using a student loan, he can avoid it and that's his choice. When it comes to paying tax, that is the law of the land and it is part of helping society function, then it is perfectly acceptable to do so.
You said earlier that interest didn't even exist. The ignorance is strong in you. There is detailed information on why it is illegitimate to enter an agreement that demands more than what you initially gave. I don't have the time to explain it- research it. Borrowing money is fine- interest isn't.
OP- go to an Islamic Bank. You'll just have to pay back the money. No interest whatsoever.[/QUOTE
that's slightly wrong
Islamic mortgages make sense to me but Islamic loans don't ie: you will definitely pay to borrow the money but its packaged in a different way. I don't quite understand how Islamic loans work
Islamic mortgages are easy to understand as well as Islamic banking where you get a profit but Islamic loans are a bit...
