Answer
At the outset, we wish to point out that it is not permissible to take out an interest bearing loan. If you did take a loan, it is compulsory to repay the loan even if it is from a non-Muslim in a non-Muslim country.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
