Is working as a revenue accountant in a real estate development company—whose work involves signing installment sale contracts and depositing post-dated checks in the bank—dubious or problematic in terms of Islamic law? And is increasing the price of a house when selling it by installment, as opposed to selling it for cash, permissible?
If the company sells its properties by installments and does not stipulate a penalty for late payment, then this sale is valid. Increasing the price for installment payments is permissible, and the Islamic Fiqh Academy has approved it. Based on this, the work of an accountant in such companies is permissible.
