The answer

It is not permissible to sell land to someone who buys it to mortgage it for a usurious loan, due to the prohibition of cooperating in sin and aggression. Jurists have explicitly stated the impermissibility of selling anything that is used to facilitate a sin, such as selling grapes to someone who will press them into wine, or selling weapons during times of strife, and anything else intended for an unlawful purpose.
