Is it permissible to buy a car from a company that stipulates the car remains in its name until the full price is paid, knowing that the company does not deal with an installment system but only with a leasing system?

Lease-to-own is impermissible, due to its inclusion of several Sharia-prohibited elements, among them:

1. Contracting for a single asset with two unstable contracts, which leads to conflicting obligations. 2. The installment amount designated as rent does not correspond to the actual rent of the asset, because it is, in reality, an installment of the price. This may lead to devouring people's wealth unjustly when the buyer becomes unable to pay. 3. This contract has led to the bankruptcy of many people.

Installment sales, with sufficient guarantees, can serve as an alternative to this contract.
