The answer

A loan with interest is usury, which is forbidden. Allah has declared war on those who engage in it, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, cursed those who deal with it. Therefore, it is not permissible to take out an interest-bearing loan to purchase clinic equipment or for any other purpose. The patients' need for treatment does not constitute a necessity for the borrower that permits him to consume what is unlawful.
