The answer

Thank you for abstaining from working in satellite dish installation, and we ask Allah to compensate you with something better. By leaving something for the sake of Allah, Allah will replace it with something superior. Know that financial hardship is a trial for which you will be rewarded. Allah Almighty says: "And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient." So, be patient in the face of trials to attain reward, for "Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account." The possibility of borrowing with usury is a new trial, so be keen on pleasing Allah and do not fear tribulations. As for your statement about the bank allowing the full amount without interest or repayment, we did not understand your intention, and we cannot answer it because, to our knowledge, there is no usurious bank that lends without interest.
