It is permissible to benefit from the loan, and its immediate repayment is not obligatory, as human debts do not have to be repaid immediately without being demanded. Rather, they are due on an extended basis. If the debtor does not specify a time for repayment, then the demand acts as the time specification. It is preferable to hasten repayment to clear one's conscience.
