The answer

This contract is usurious and forbidden, because it is a loan provided by the bank, with the condition that the borrower pays interest. Scholars have unanimously agreed that any loan with a stipulated increase is forbidden usury. The fact that the state bears the interest does not change the reality of the usurious contract, as the borrower has agreed to and engaged in usury.
