Authorizing a person to buy a car and pay for it in installments
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Is it permissible for me to authorize a person to buy a car for me and pay for it to him in monthly installments?
Answer:
How does he buy it for you and pay for it to him? That means he became the original buyer, and you pay the price and recover it from him with an increase. This means riba (usury or interest). You lent him the price and paid it off for him, and then he pays you back with an increase. This is riba. Yes.

May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
