QUESTION:

Asalaam Alaykum

A friend of mine recently graduated college and returned to Pakistan.

Before returning though, he filed for bankruptcy on nearly $18,000
of college loan to avoid paying it.  He said that it was alright to do
it because we are living in a kafir country that charges interest and 
takes our tax dollars and that tuition was very overpriced.  

My question is that is this reasoning justified that you can cheat a kaafir 
country or institution out of its money which continuously cheats you out of
yours?

ANSWER

This is totally unacceptable and against Islamic teachings.
