Large amount for holder of investment bonds

Dear Brothers & Sisters,
As-Salaamu-Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)
One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:
is issuing investment bonds (Group C) which is a kind of certificate that you purchase from the bank, and there is a draw based on these certificates every month. The winning certificate gets a large amount of money. At the same time, holders of these certificates still keeps the value of the certificates and can withdraw their money at any time. What is the Islamic ruling on this amount of money that is won by the holder of the winning certificate?

Answer:

Praise be to Allaah.

If the matter is as you describe, this transaction is a kind of gambling and is a major sin, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“O you who believe! Intoxicants (all kinds of alcoholic drinks), and gambling, and Al-Ansaab (animals that are slaughtered on stone altars for idols), and Al-Azlaam (arrows for seeking luck or decision) are an abomination of Shaytaan’s (Satan’s) handiwork. So avoid (strictly all) that (abomination) in order that you may be successful.Shaytaan (Satan) wants only to excite enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants (alcoholic drinks) and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allaah and from As-Salaah (the prayer). So, will you not then abstain?”

[al-Maa’idah 5:90-91]

The person who deals in these things must repent to Allaah, seek His forgiveness and avoid dealing in these things; he must get rid of any money that he has earned in this manner, so that Allaah will accept his repentance.

And Allaah is the source of strength. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions, and grant them peace.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah's Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
Your brother and well wisher in Islam
