Question
Is it permissible for me to do work for free or at a large discount for a friend who lent me a large sum?
Answer
It is forbidden for a borrower to perform work for the lender for free if these are tasks for which payment is typically expected. Similarly, it is forbidden for the borrower to perform work at a price lower than the market rate, unless he would have done this favor even without the loan, in which case it is permitted.
