Parallel Istisna' (manufacturing contract) is permissible in Islamic law. This occurs when the owner of a plot of land or a house agrees with a bank to construct a specific project, and the owner pays the price in installments. The bank then contracts with another builder to construct the project at a lower cost. A good intention does not transform something prohibited into something permissible.
