Preparing proforma invoices for the purpose of obtaining usurious loans is forbidden, due to the impermissible deception involved therein. It is a description of something contrary to its true nature, and it includes fraud in documents and imitation of signatures with the intent to deceive. Furthermore, facilitating the procedures for a usurious loan is considered aiding in sin, and Allah the Almighty has forbidden cooperation in sin and aggression.
