It can’t be an Islamic transaction if there is no risk on the bank and the bank didn’t acquire and possessed the car before the contract signing.

In an Islamic bank they are askng the Customer to pay the down payment directly to the supplier/dealer (for example Car loan). Is it permissible?

One of the student of knowledge told me mufti taqi usmani is an expert in this and he is the highest ranked scholar in your country and that’s enough for am Aami to know. Below is the nature of their agreement Car Ijarah is Pakistan’s first Interest Free car financing based on the Islamic financing mode of Ijarah (Islamic leasing). This product is ideal for individuals looking for car financing while avoiding an interest-based transaction. Meezan Bank’ Car Ijarah is a car rental agreement, under which the Bank purchases the car and rents it out to the customer for a period of 1 to 5 years, agreed at the time of the contract. Upon completion of the lease period the customer gets ownership of the car against his initial security deposit. An Islamic Ijarah is an asset-based contract, i.e. the Lessor should have ownership of the asset during the period of the contract. Under Islamic Shariah, all ownership related rights and liabilities should lie with the owner while all usage-related rights and liabilities should lie with the user. A conventional lease contract does not distinguish between the nature of these liabilities and places all liabilities on the user of the asset, which is contradictory to Islamic Shariah. Under Ijarah, all ownership-related risks lie with the Bank while all usage related risks lie with the user, thus making the Lessor the true owner of the asset and making the income generated through the contract permissible (Halal) for the Bank. Continuation of lease rentals in case of total loss or theft of vehicle If the leased vehicle is stolen or completely destroyed, the conventional leasing company continues charging the lease rent till the settlement of the Insurance claim. Under the Islamic system, rent is consideration for usage of the leased asset, and if the asset has been stolen or destroyed, the concept of rental becomes void. As such, in the above-mentioned eventualities, Meezan bank does not charge the lease rental.
