It depends. If you can borrow money at a low interest rate or even interest free, for example from family. Borrowing money to deal with an urgent need can be better than having to sell Bitcoin at a low price.
If you will not have much pressure from the family member or a friends you will borrow the money from at a low or no interest rate, then you can borrow that is if you have another means to get the money back to the person on time before the agreed time. That will be a very good option to save your Bitcoin investment especially when the price is very low compare to the time you buy the Bitcoin.

Quote
In general, if your emergency fund is not enough, borrowing money or selling Bitcoin can both be reasonable option. Which one is better depend on the person's situation. There is no single formula that works for everyone, because everyone is financial situation is different.
Your Bitcoin investment is you lifetime investment, you are investing to save your valuable assets against inflation, but in case of emergency, you have no choice than to sell, but it is reasonable to consider several options and make sure you use minimum amount to solve the problem so that you can easily recover the sold Bitcoin.

Emergency funds is never enough,  that's why we have to keep adding to it, even if no emergency has occurred. Even with all you have kept for your emergency,, you can still have an emergency that the funds will not be enough.  So I think it's advisable to either get a loan or sell some of your bitcoin to solve the emergency. Imagine if it's life threatening,  you don't need to hold your asset at this point,  because what is the use of the asset if you are gone. Emergencies are things we have no control of, and it can occur at any point in a man's life, so like I mentioned if it's life threatening and you know that money can solve it, then you have no other option than to take loan or sell your assets.

As an investor it's advisable to keep emergency funds to ensure that your Bitcoin asset management is done to the utmost, however there could be circumstances that emergency funds won't or might not be enough to handle the matter at hand whether a mistake or totally unforseen and uncontrollable happening. A very debilitating situation that the thinking of selling Bitcoin holding is already part of the options.

Under such conditions what will you do between selling your Bitcoin, borrowing money and selling other belongings etc.
This is a very important and very real issue; in fact, I'm sure it's happened to many people. Personally, I would use all available options, such as credit cards, applying for special financing through the bank, and try to find a way to avoid touching my BTC investment.

If all other options are closed or impossible, I would consider taking out a loan. But why? If I borrow money in fiat currency, I go into debt in that currency. If I sell my BTC, I would lose much more than money; I would lose the effort, dedication, and the value they could represent in the future.

I would exhaust all my financial resources to avoid touching my BTC investment, as it has great potential. Just thinking about the possibility of touching that investment and, by chance, BTC experiencing a significant rise in the short term would be even more painful.

However, if there is no other option, I would have to withdraw a portion of my BTC investment, with all the pain that entails, if the emergency demands it, but that would be the last resort.

Exactly, this is why people keep working to ensure they add more to their accounts because one emergency might take all that one has been saving in their emergency funds, as there might be no fund for one to take care of themselves. So, it's important for one to keep saving to add more because having the mindset that what they already have is enough, as that might lead them to unnecessary pressure and stress that will instantly drain them and affect them mentally.
