Borrowing without usurious interest is permissible. It is also permissible for the borrower who is in straitened circumstances to request a delay [in repayment] or for the debt to be waived. It is stated in the : "Whoever grants a respite to one in straitened circumstances or waives [the debt] for him, Allah will shade him in His shade." It is a condition that the manager be authorized to discharge the debtor.
