What is the ruling on taking an advance or a loan from a company's social welfare fund, which provides free assistance to employees and allocates the interest generated from loans and advances to free assistance, knowing that it grants advances and loans with interest?

The jurisprudential opinion regarding taking a loan with interest is that it is usury (riba), and placing the interest in a social welfare fund does not change this fact. Instead, the company can form a charitable association for employees with voluntary contributions to meet their needs.
