The answer

If a bank lends a usurious loan, it is not permissible to mediate in this transaction, even without financial compensation. This is because it involves condoning an evil and assisting in sin. Allah Almighty says: {And do not cooperate in sin and aggression.} The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, cursed the one who consumes usury, the one who feeds it, its scribe, and its two witnesses, and he said: "They are all alike"; because their actions are considered assistance in usury. And whoever assists in disobedience is considered sinful, and bears a burden of sin equal to that of the one who commits it.
