The answer

The husband has done well by abandoning the usurious loan, for it is forbidden by Islamic law. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, cursed the one who consumes usury and the one who pays it. The fact that a ministry pays the interest does not change the حرمة (prohibition) of the usurious loan. Borrowing with usury is unlawful whether the borrower pays it or another party, for it involves approval of usury and assistance in it.
