Getting rid of money stolen from the workplace treasury

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A man works as an accountant in a company, and he stole money from the workplace treasury. He has repented to Allah the Mighty and Majestic, but he is afraid to return the money out of shame. He says he fears they will find out that he is a thief. How can he get rid of this forbidden money?

Answer:
He must return it to its owners by any means, whether by sending it with someone, depositing it into their bank account, or by any other means. The important thing is that he must return it.
