Taking a Usurious Loan with the Intention of Not Repaying it with Interest

Question
A person took a loan from the bank, and the bank is asking for 50,000 in return for 40,000. To avoid usury, my brother decided to return the 40,000 as he took it. Now he is very worried and confused; if he withdraws from the loan now and returns it to the bank, will he get 6,000 back with 46?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: He must get rid of this usurious transaction as soon as possible and with all effort, along with sincere repentance. God will compensate him with better than that, and God knows best.
