Is the surplus amount that a father gave to his daughter after she settled a payment on his behalf considered usury, and what is the ruling on something she purchased with this money, given the doubt surrounding its permissibility?

This act is not usury, even if it is a genuine loan, because the additional amount paid by the payer is not stipulated in the contract; rather, it is a reward or a gift from him. This is considered an excellent repayment.
