What is the obligation of one who borrows a mushaf from the Haram and then steals it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I had a mushaf that I took from the Haram, and I went to perform wudu' and left it with one of the vendors when I came out of the bathroom. When I came out, I did not find the man, nor did I find the mushaf. We say: You are the one who was wrong; you made a mistake in this. Why did you take the mushaf out? The mushaf is an endowment (waqf) for the Haram.

Answer:
It is not permissible for you to take it out of its place. If you had left it in the Haram, you would not have made this mistake. May Allah accept our repentance and yours. Do not repeat something like this.
