Investing the Loan in Something Other Than What It Was Taken For

Question
I took a loan from the Agricultural Lending Institution without interest, and I paid off my debts and not for an agricultural project. Is this haram?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: This is a form of deception and lying, which is not permissible according to Sharia. You are sinful for this action, and you must repent to God from it and not repeat it. And God knows best.
