How to Return Injustices to Their Owners
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the sisters asks how to return injustices to their owners, given that a woman stole a sum of money about fifteen years ago. Should she return the same amount to its owner, male or female, to clear her conscience?
Answer:
She is required to do so. If she knows the owner of the money she stole, she is required to return it to him and seek his forgiveness as much as possible. If she does not know the owner and is unable to deliver it to him, she should give this money in charity with the intention that the reward belongs to its owner. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
