Returning the Stolen Money After Repentance

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: When a thief repents from theft, what does he do regarding the people from whom he stole?

Answer:
If he knows them, he returns the money to them and asks for their forgiveness. If he does not know them, he gives the money in charity with the intention that the reward belongs to its owner, and he thereby disposes of it. Yes.
