The question

What is the ruling on an employer taking a large financial guarantee from an employee, exceeding the price of the car, in exchange for providing him with a car and a large salary, on the condition that each of them gets their money back at the end of the employment period, given the employer's need for this amount?

The answer

This transaction is a loan from the employee to the employer, from which the employer benefits by repaying its equivalent after a period, in exchange for an increase in the employee's salary and his personal use of the car. This is forbidden because every loan that draws a benefit is usury (riba). Ibn al-Mundhir transmitted the consensus of scholars on the prohibition of a creditor stipulating an increase or a gift in a loan.
