It was previously explained that the ruling on investment certificates is that they involve a loan that draws benefit, which is forbidden. Group (C) certificates, in addition, constitute gambling, so it is impermissible to own them or benefit from them. One must get rid of them and repent to Allah. "And whoever gives up something for the sake of Allah, Allah will compensate him with something better than it."
