Returning Stolen Money Upon Repentance

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: If a person steals money from another, is it obligatory for him to return it when he repents?

Answer:
Without a doubt, the rights of people must be returned, or they must be asked to forgive the debt; otherwise, it remains a liability on you. Yes.
