The answer

The transaction mentioned is reverse Tawarruq or reverse Murabaha. In this, the bank buys a commodity from the client at a profit, then the bank sells it to benefit from the money and repays it to the client in installments. The Islamic Fiqh Academy has issued a fatwa (religious edict) prohibiting this transaction.
