It is permissible to purchase land in installments from the New Urban Communities Authority if the terms do not include usurious conditions, such as late payment penalties, even if the deferred price is higher than the immediate price. This is conditional upon the price being known at the time of the contract and not subject to increase upon delayed payment. However, it is not permissible to purchase in installments through usurious banks or other entities if they do not actually buy the land but rather lend its price to the buyer.
