The answer

It is not permissible to write anything related to a usurious loan, because it is a sin and its earnings are unlawful. One must leave the job if it is not possible to refrain from writing such a document, unless the person is compelled to stay in it due to the lack of any other livelihood for himself and his dependents. However, the salaries of employees derived from revenues mixed with usurious loans are permissible, because the loan enters into the borrower's possession after he receives it.
