Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I used to work in a place, and my soul prompted me to take something from the money of the man I worked for. I now want to return the money, but there is no way to confront him, and I fear disgrace. Is there any advice in this matter?
Answer:
It is obligatory to return the amount to its owner or to seek his forgiveness for the amount. As for the method by which you reach him, you know that best. Either send it with someone, or put it in his box, or in a place where he will find it and take it. Do the method that delivers it to him. Yes.
