The answer

It is not permissible to take out an interest-bearing loan, even if the state will pay the interest, because there is a permissible alternative, which is dealing with Islamic banks through the permissible Tawarruq transaction. Furthermore, what Islamic banks do in terms of Murabaha and increasing the deferred price over the spot price is permissible and not usury.
