Manufacturing with Usurious Loan
A carpenter was approached by a customer who requested the creation of something. The customer informed him that he had deposited ten thousand in his account at a lumber company to use for the required work. The problem is that the customer went to the bank and requested a credit card, borrowing the required amount through it, and he will pay the usurious bank in installments. Is it permissible for the carpenter to accept the amount and complete the work or not?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The carpenter deserves the amount as a reward for permissible work he does, and the source of the customer's money does not harm him as long as it is not stolen. And God knows best.
