Question:
We have a call from Salih from al-Hasa. Yes. Wa alaykum as-salam. Peace and the mercy of Allah. Peace. If you please, I would like to ask you about a matter: a man stole when he was young, and now he has grown up, meaning he remembers it. Does he have any obligation or not? Okay, thank you, Salih.
Answer:
Yes, it is obligatory for him to return the money to the one from whom he stole it, or to his heir if he is dead, or to seek his forgiveness. This is because the rights of creation are not dropped by repentance alone, but rather, along with repentance, the injustice must be returned to its owner, unless he forgives it. Yes.
