The answer is summarized in two points: First, the ownership of the cow is valid, and the loan, after its receipt, becomes the borrower's liability. It is permissible to benefit from the cow's produce, and its rights must be upheld. Second, the father must offer sincere repentance, regretting his actions and resolving not to return to usurious loans, and he must return the principal amount without interest if he is able.
