Is a lawyer considered a scribe of usury if he pleads a case to reduce the value of usurious interest on behalf of his client, and the plea brief contains what necessitates a lower usurious interest than what is imposed according to man-made law?

Usurious interest is any stipulated increase on a debt, and it is forbidden. It is not permissible to pay it unless one fears harm; rather, it is legislated to get rid of it. It is permissible for a lawyer to seek to reduce usurious interest for his client, even if he relies on a legal article that permits usury, because his effort aims to alleviate injustice. Scholars have issued a fatwa (definition) allowing a person's work if it alleviates injustice from people. Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah mentioned that whoever assumes an office and is compelled to collect unlawful taxes, but strives for justice and to remove injustice as much as he can, then his remaining in office is better and more beneficial for Muslims, and he will be rewarded for it, and there is no sin upon him. As for writing, registering, or documenting a usurious contract, it is something that aids in usury, and it is a forbidden act.
