The answer

Islamic banks sell for a deferred price with an increase over the cash price, and this is a sale, not usury (riba). This differs from the conventional banks' practice of imposing a specific increase on the borrowed amount, which is interest. The amount in an Islamic bank contract is not subject to increase because it is a sale contract with a known price, unlike an interest-bearing loan whose interest increases with delayed payment. If the necessary conditions for the validity of a deferred sale with an increase are met, then the sale is valid.
