Q: A person who is a car salesmen, sells cars. People at time buy it using loans. I am not to sure about the details but if there is any interest involved buy them or I need to write it down etc, will this make this impermissible?
A: You should not be a party to the interest in any way. You should show the car and let him arrange the finance by himself.

Q: If I show the car he arranges the finance and I draw up the contract that I need to give to my boss, which has his details. Is there anything wrong in this?
A: If the wording of the contract does not entail any haraam then this is permissible.
