The answer

The fundamental principle of Islamic banks is their adherence to Sharia regulations. However, merely labeling a bank as "Islamic" does not necessarily mean that all its transactions are valid. The criterion is the bank's commitment to the rulings of Sharia, not just its name. If a specific transaction is unclear to you, you must inquire about it from trustworthy scholars before proceeding. Furthermore, Murabaha to the one who promises to purchase (Murabaha lil-amir bil-shira') is permissible under specific conditions.
