Question:
Before I repented to Allah, I stole from a dump truck some time ago, and I am now in the deepest regret. What is obligatory for me?
Answer:
If you know the owner of the vehicle, return what you took to him and ask him for forgiveness. As for if you do not know him and it is difficult to reach him, sell it and give its price in charity with the intention that the reward belongs to the owner and that you are getting rid of it. Yes.
