The answer

Borrowing money from relatives on the condition of returning it with a monthly increase is forbidden interest (riba), one of the gravest major sins and destructive acts. Scholars have unanimously agreed that any loan which stipulates an increase or benefit for the lender is usury (riba). The permissible way is a goodly loan () without any increase, or partnering with them in purchasing the land through a sharecropping contract (muzara'ah), or a contract with their money, provided that the profit is shared between you according to the agreement.
