The answer

Usury is one of the gravest prohibitions, and it is not permissible except in cases of extreme necessity, such as not having enough food, drink, and clothing for yourself and those you support. If you are compelled to this extent, then it is permissible for you to take it; otherwise, it is not permissible.
