The answer

It is not permissible to collect monthly installments for the purchase of gold if the money remains with the seller and he benefits from it, and then gives the buyer an increase, because this is considered a loan that brings benefit to the lender (the buyer), which is usury (riba) forbidden by Islamic law.
