Is it permissible to purchase a tablet device in easy installments—without interest—through a usurious bank, given that the bank requires salary transfer to it?

If you need the device, and the transaction of buying it through the bank does not involve any শরী‘আ-prohibited matter, then there is no harm in it. This would be the case if the bank purchases the device and then sells it to you or your friend in installments, without stipulating an interest if payment is delayed, or if it pays its price as a benevolent loan () without interest. Otherwise, it is not permissible.
