Returning the money to its owner without his knowledge and seeking his forgiveness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Allah knows. The questioner says: I took money from a person, and he did not know about it. Then I repented to Allah and returned the money to him, and he did not know about it. Is my action correct?
Answer:
Yes, your action is correct in some respects, because you returned the money to him. However, you still need to seek his forgiveness, because two things are obligatory for you: first, to return the injustice to its owner; second, to ask him for forgiveness for what you did and to acknowledge to him what happened. Yes.
