Is it permissible to borrow from a man who deals in riba (usury or interest)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a Muslim to take a loan from a wealthy man who deals in riba?

Answer:
No, if all his wealth is from riba, he should not take from him. But if his wealth is mixed and he does not know that this amount is from riba, there is nothing wrong with taking it, because the default is permissibility.
