The ruling on buying a car for half the price in cash and the rest on installments
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If I buy a car, paying half its value in cash and the rest on installments, is this sale valid?
Answer:
There is no harm in buying a car for a deferred price, whether in one installment or on installments; there is no harm in that. The default in transactions is permissibility, except for what evidence indicates is forbidden. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) bought on credit; he bought food for his family and pledged a suit of armor with the Jew from whom he bought it. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) died while the armor was still pledged with the Jew, which indicates that deferred sales are for the benefit of people. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
