Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
 
Assalāmu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullāhi wa barakātuh
 
While the concept of “Murābahah” is in principle an Islāmically viable model for home-financing, the ruling of any particular Murābahah transaction will depend on the clauses in the contract and how it is implemented. Hence, we can only comment on a specific Murābahah transaction once the complete contract is forwarded to us. In its absence, we cannot issue a general answer on its permissibility or impermissibility.
And Allah Ta‘ālā Knows Best
