It is permissible to purchase a car by installments under two conditions: the selling price must be fixed and not increase with the extension of the payment period, and ownership of the car must be transferred to the buyer. It does not matter if the buyer is prevented from selling it until the price is paid in full. Usury occurs when the price increases based on the extension of the payment period.
