Taking a Bank Loan to Build a House in a Western Country

Question
What is the ruling on taking loans with interest to build a house in Western countries, with a request to mention the evidence?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The ruling on the prohibition of usury does not differ whether in Muslim countries or non-Muslim countries, and what is exempted for non-Muslims are special cases that involve great necessity, and God knows best.
