The answer

Borrowing with interest is forbidden by Islamic law. Financial hardship in repaying a debt does not constitute a compelling necessity that permits interest-based borrowing. It is forbidden for theically distressed person to borrow with interest, just as it is forbidden for anyone else to guarantee him in it. The creditor is obliged to grant the financially distressed person a respite until he finds ease, and it is not permissible to compel him to borrow with interest. A financially distressed person who has no money cannot be demanded or imprisoned.
