Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A man stole money and then repented, but he does not know its owner to return the money to him. Is his repentance valid? And what should he do with this stolen money?
Answer:
He should disburse it by giving it to the poor, just as money that has no owner is given to the poor and the needy. Yes.
