Borrowing money from an interest-based (usurious) bank is (unlawful) according to Islamic law. The borrower must repent to Allah, regret this sin, and resolve not to return to it. As for the shares purchased with this money, they are (permissible), and there is no need to sell them or dispose of them after repaying the usurious loan and ending the forbidden contract.
