If the bank purchases the car and it enters its ownership and responsibility before selling it to the requesting party, then there is no objection to the transaction, even if the bank stipulates a Takaful insurance; because it is for the purpose of assurance. As for the agency contract for Murabahah financing, it is permissible for the bank to appoint the requesting party as an agent in case of urgent need, although it is better for the bank to appoint someone else, and the agent should not sell to himself.
