The answer

The reality of a loan is taking money and returning its equivalent. Any stipulated increase on it is considered usury (riba), which is Haram (forbidden) by consensus, whether the increase is in kind or benefit. Therefore, it is not permissible to enter into a loan transaction with interest with the bank, even if the bank freezes a portion of the mother's account, because the usurious transaction has already occurred between the borrower and the bank.
