Is this permissible? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
This is the issue of 'inah (a buy-back sale used to disguise a loan). This 'inah is when one buys a commodity for a deferred price, then sells it to the lender, the seller, for a lower price. This is riba (usury or interest). This is riba, and the commodity is made a ruse, a means to riba, and it is what is called the issue of 'inah. That one buys a commodity for a deferred price, then sells it to the lender, the seller, for a lower immediate price. This is riba in the form of a sale, and it is the issue of 'inah. Yes.
