How can he get rid of shares in riba-based banks?
Question

                A man bought shares in a bank that deals in riba, and now he wants to get rid of them. What should he do?.
Praise be to Allah.
    Firstly: 

    It is not permissible to buy shares in riba-based banks or in 
    companies that are based on riba, because that is consuming riba, and the 
    Messenger of Allaah  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed 
    the one who consumes riba and the one who pays it. Narrated by Muslim 
    (1597). 

    In a statement issued by the Islamic Fiqh Council during its 
    seventh conference, held in Jeddah in 1412 AH, it says: 

    There is no dispute that shares in companies whose basic aims 
    are haraam, such as dealing with riba, producing haraam things or dealing in 
    haraam things, are also haraam. End quote. 

    Majallat al-Majma’ al-Fiqhi, no. 
    7, vol. 1, p. 711 

    Secondly: 

    If a person has bought these shares, he has to repent to 
    Allaah by regretting what he has done, resolving not to do it again, and 
    getting out of the company or bank, and selling these shares. He is not 
    entitled to anything more than his capital, and whatever is greater than his 
    capital he must spend it on charitable causes. 

    The scholars of the Standing Committee were asked: I had some 
    shares in a company, and this company went bankrupt 25 years ago. There were 
    trustees of the company who bought into the Riyadh bank with what was left 
    of the shares, 25 years ago, each share costing 1000 riyals. Now the price 
    of one share is 30,000 riyals. I need this money, so is it permissible to 
    take the current value of the share, knowing that they bought these shares 
    in the Riyadh bank without us knowing all this time? They replied: You 
    should take the entire amount, the capital and the interest, then keep the 
    capital, because that belongs to you, and give the interest in charity, 
    because it is riba. Allaah will make you independent of means by His bounty, 
    and will compensate you with something better than it, and He will help you 
    to meet your needs.  

    “And whosoever fears Allaah and keeps his duty to Him, He 
    will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty).

    3. And He will provide him from (sources) he never could 
    imagine. And whosoever puts his trust in Allaah, then He will suffice him.”

    [al-Talaaq 65:2-3]

    End quote. Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah (13/506) 

    It also says in Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah 
    (13/508): It is not permissible to buy shares in banks or companies that 
    deal with riba. If our correspondent wants to get rid of his riba-based 
    shares, he may sell them at the market price, then keep his original capital 
    only; the rest he should spend on charitable causes. It is not permissible 
    for him to take any of the interest or riba-based profits of his shares. But 
    if the shares were in a company that does not deal in riba, then the profits 
    on them are halaal. End quote. 

    And Allaah knows best.
