I used to steal eggs when I was young out of ignorance of the ruling, so what is required of me now, given that the owners have died?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I used to work for wealthy people when I was young, and I would find a chicken egg and take it from them without their knowledge, and I would buy things with it. I was ignorant of the ruling at that time. Now they have died and they have many heirs, so what is required of me now, when I do not know the number of eggs I took?

Answer:
In any case, this is not permissible. You should estimate what you took and make an effort to estimate it. You should be cautious and pay it to their heirs. If you cannot find anyone of them and you do not know where they are, you should give this money in charity, with the intention that the reward is for them, and that you are getting rid of it.
