The answer

If the dealings of Islamic banks adhere to the to the Shariah controls in Murabaha or Istisna'a sales, then there is no objection to dealing with them. The Second Conference of the Islamic Bank permitted Murabaha sales to a purchaser, provided that the commodity is owned and possessed by the bank first, and then sold at the agreed-upon profit, on condition that the bank bears the responsibility for any damage before delivery and the liability for returning the item due to a hidden defect.
