The answer

It is permissible for your friend to sell his house to someone who will buy it with an interest-based loan, because the prohibition of usury applies to the borrower. An interest-based loan — though forbidden — confers ownership of the money upon the borrower in some schools of thought. Nevertheless, your friend should advise the buyer about the impermissibility of usury. The buyer can look for a permissible alternative, such as purchasing the house through Murabaha.
