The ruling on one who embezzles money, then repents and builds mosques with it

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. What about one who embezzles money, whether public or private funds, and then repents to Allah for it? He has already built mosques and supported some charitable works. Does that benefit him? Or is it necessary for him to return the embezzled money?

Answer:
This is a way of getting rid of it. I do not know if he took it out and put it in mosques and public projects. If he got rid of it and put it in public projects for the Muslims, then he has gotten rid of it, and that is a good thing. However, now they have set up a specific account for recoveries and clearing of liability. So whoever has something of that kind puts it in the account for that number and is thereby absolved. Yes.
