The answer

This action is not permissible because it falls under the general meaning of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "Allah has cursed the one who consumes Riba (usury), the one who gives it, the two who witness it, and the one who records it." Taking loans from usurious banks or facilitating the taking of such loans is forbidden, as it involves dealing with Riba, which is a form of cooperating in sin and transgression that Allah has forbidden in His saying: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression." The loan system in commercial banks is precisely the Riba that existed during the time of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
