The answer

This transaction is impermissible because it constitutes cooperation in sin. Allah Almighty says: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression." Dealing with the Youth Employment Support Agency and taking money from it, knowing that its funds are from usury and that the project's own funds are from usury, is impermissible because it is an approval of evil. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, cursed the one who consumes usury, the one who pays it, its scribe, and its two witnesses, and he said: "They are all alike."
