    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 812/L=291/tl=1432) According to Shariah, it is haram to have interest based loan from bank. However, if you buy the car from the bank in a way that first the bank buys the car and includes as much interest as much it wants in the original price of the car and then sells you and you pay it on instalments, then it is allowed.
