"Tawarruq (monetization) is permissible with its -compliant controls. There is no harm in helping a friend pay off his debt, even if tawarruq is subject to some doubt, for the right is tied to his responsibility (dhimma), and lending to him is permissible as long as it does not encourage the practice of what is impermissible."
