Benefits from interest-based loans are Islamically forbidden, because they are usury (riba). It is not permissible to deal with a person or entity that uses these benefits, whether through sale, gift, loan, or any other transaction. Therefore, it is not permissible to borrow from these benefits, even if no interest is paid on them.
