Disposing of stolen money whose owners are unknown

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a question similar to the previous one. The questioner says: Before I became righteous, I stole a great deal of money from many people, and I do not know them now. He asks: What should I do?

Answer:
Give charity equivalent to the amount. Strive to calculate it and give charity equal to the total sum.
