Question
salam aleikum.. i know its big haram to take riba, but is it still haram to take riba for to take my husband and the children and make hijra for to move to muslim country.. we now live in koffar country in the europe and its very bad especially for the children and we know many muslim families here who the goverment have take the children from the parents and put them in non muslim families for no reason at all, only because they dont like muslims.. thank you for answer
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
If the matter is as you mentioned in the question, and you cannot migrate with your family except by taking Riba (interest and/or usury), then it becomes permissible, Allaah willing, because the necessities make what is forbidden permissible. Indeed, there is no necessity greater than that of protecting one’s religion. Allaah Says (what means): {He has explained in detail to you what He has forbidden you, excepting that to which you are compelled.}[Quran 6:119] Allaah also Says (what means): {…and the Fitnah is worse than killing.}[Quran 2:191] The Fitnah here means committing disbelief in Allaah and associating others in worship with Him.
