Can you pay off an educational loan in the first year to avoid interest charges?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Banks are offering educational loans with zero interest. Student can study in loan and start paying after course completion. If you pay the loan in 1st year itself then no interest will be charged. If payment goes to 2nd year then interest also adds. My question is if a person with an intension that he will be able to pay his educational loan in the 1st year itself can he take the educational loan?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 1297/1287/L=11/1436)

If a student believes that he shall pay off his loan in the first year without paying the interest then it is allowable for him to take the loan.

Allah knows Best!

Sir, almost three months back myself and my wife we were staying alone in Bahrain just before ramadan we both had a big fight and that time she was in her monthly cycle in fact the matter was out of hands and we beat each other were totally out of control mentally and physically as well and in anger she first gave Talaq to me by taking Allah as Gawah to which i also get anger and called her parents in India and inform the same and then called my family as well and was talking to them and they tried to console both of us but we never stopped during that time she was still shouting at me and using bad language and I the highest level of my anger talking to my mummy and Bahbi I said i take you (bhabi) as gawah and divorce her (thrice) all at once* which I even doesn’t recollect it and my bhabi says I said it thrice.   After 3 days she went to India and since then she is staying at her house and both of us are not in physical contact since then. But we talk once in a while. and willing to come back to each other and since that day till today have not talked about divorce at all nor she remembers the incident and she has not inform her parents about it as well.   My question to you sir is does my Talaq counts or not under this conditions. As I am confused have ref to so many fatwas and everywhere its different.   And secondly if you’re really out of our mind and pronounced divorce without knowing the consequences of it does it counts.  In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful.
