Installment sales are permissible. They involve selling a known commodity for a known price, to be paid at a known future date. The buyer pays a portion of the price over agreed-upon periods to the seller. There is no limit to the increase the seller may take in exchange for the deferment, provided that this increase is specified and agreed upon at the time of the contract.
