The answer

Borrowing with usury is one of the gravest major sins. However, your benefit from this woman's money is permissible because she acquired the money through a loan. She should be advised to repent from borrowing with usury, while also noting that Islamic law does not condone a relationship between a man and a woman before marriage.
