Is it permissible to buy a house from someone who bought it with an interest-based loan, knowing that the seller requested to add the amount of the interest surplus resulting from delaying the repayment of the loan to the price of the house because the purchase will be made in installments?

If the sale of the house is for a known, deferred price between the buyer and the seller, with no relation between the buyer and the seller’s usurious loan, and the effect of the loan is limited to an increase in price due to the deferment, then the purchase is permissible.
