The Repentance of a Thief Who Is Unable to Return the Stolen Property

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: What is the ruling on the repentance of a thief who is unable to return what he stole, may Allah preserve you?

Answer:
Rather, repentance is accepted if it is sincere, but returning the money to its owner is necessary, either directly or indirectly. So he seeks a way to deliver the money to its owner indirectly. Yes.
