The answer

Stipulating a penalty for late payment of installments is usurious interest (riba), forbidden by Islamic law, and it is impermissible to enter into a transaction containing this forbidden condition, even with the intention of not delaying payment. This has been explicitly stated in a resolution by the Islamic Fiqh Academy.
