The answer

Dealing with Riba (usury/interest) is strictly forbidden. One must seek a permissible alternative to obtain money, such as Tawarruq (monetization), joining an employee savings group, or selling or mortgaging some property. If no permissible method is found, Riba is permissible out of necessity. This necessity is defined as reaching a point where one cannot find food, clothing, or rent for shelter, similar to someone forced to eat carrion. If there is no such necessity, then borrowing with Riba is not permissible.
