Muhammad Akram Khan criticizes ijara's customer protection vis-à-vis conventional interest-bearing loans in an example: Suppose, for example, a person takes a five-year interest-bearing loan to buy a car. After two years, if he finds that keeping the car and the loan is uneconomical, he can sell the car in the market and repay the loan. This is not so in the case of ijara. Ijara finance cannot be terminated prematurely.Khan, What Is Wrong with Islamic Economics?, 2013: p.349
