Islamic vehicle financing in South Africa

Checked by Mufti Ebrahim Desai

Question

As Salaamu Alaikum Respected Mufti,

I need to buy a van to travel to work daily as the road conditions are not suitable for the vehicle I'm currently using. I don't have sufficient funds to purchase a van with cash immediately. I am thinking of making use of the banks Islamic Vehicle finance. Please recommend which types would be permissible to make use of as I do understand that the banks revise and amend these products from time to time.

Answer

In the Name of Allaah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salaamu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullaahi wa-barakaatuh.
