Zakat is due only on the value of the investment certificates, which is 10,000 pounds. These certificates must be disposed of, and one should not deal with interest-based banks except out of extreme necessity, such as keeping money in a current account when there is fear of its loss. What has been spent from previous profits does not need to be replaced; rather, only what remains of it must be given out.
