Question

Accept my many thanks for replying my last query regarding a leasing problem. I have a follow up to my last query.

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

It is permissible for the learning company to own the car and then lease it to you. If you wish to finally own the car, you can follow the structure as explained in our previous emails to you.

And Allah knows best

Wassalam
