This transaction is forbidden because it involves deceit, fraud, and lying on the part of the car owner, and the buyer's acknowledgment of it and assistance in it. The fact that the car owner is a disbeliever does not permit a Muslim to engage in this transaction with him or assist him in consuming people's wealth unjustly, due to the Almighty's saying: (And do not cooperate in sin and aggression).
