Repentance from wealth taken by unlawful means when the owners are unknown

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I took money from people by unlawful means, and now I have repented to Allah, but I do not know their owners. What should I do?

Answer:
Give it in charity, not on the basis that it is charity, but on the basis that you are getting rid of it. Give it to charitable organizations, give it to those in need.
