Ruling on taking amounts from the workplace as compensation

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. I took amounts from the shop where I used to work, and they are recorded with me. This was because the owner of the shop promised me a salary increase but did not fulfill his promise, so I took these amounts from the shop as compensation for the salary. It is known that he was giving another worker several times what he gave me. So, are these amounts that I took from the shop without... without the owner's knowledge... yes... forbidden for him or lawful? Yes.

Answer:
And what is obligatory for you? What is obligatory for you is to return them. What is obligatory for you is to return them because you took them without right and without the owner's consent. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The wealth of a Muslim is not lawful except by his willing consent." It is obligatory for you to repent to Allah and to return these amounts to their owner because you took them without right. Yes.
