Question:
He says: I have an aunt who is a widow and gives me riyals. One time she gave me a one-hundred-riyal bill. He says she is elderly and has weak eyesight. Am I required to return the hundred to her, since she thinks it is one riyal?
Answer:
Yes, this is necessary. If she thinks it is one riyal and gave you one hundred riyals, it is not permissible for you to take it and remain silent about it; rather, you must return it to her. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
