As Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barkatuh.After my graduation i got selected for a PG Programme whose course fee was more than a lakh rupees.My father was i think not in a position to pay the entire amount at a time so he made me apply for an educational loan.Alhamdulillah I completed my PG and am currently working also but i am worried :Is my salary 100% halal.I could not say him no for a loan at that time coz he is very much in favour of loans,also the seat so obtained was after lot of effort, passing lot of examinations.If it is not 100%halal how to make my earnings fully halal.Now i am supposed to repay the loan in Instalments,can i make instalments in small amounts so that i can save some money every month rather than paying lump sums.I m quite confused and worried.Please advise me.Jazakallahu Khaira.

When you do not commit any haram or makrooh act in the tasks assigned to you, your salary is 100% halal. As far as the interest based loan taken by father is concerned, you should repay it back without delay as soon as possible.
