A man sold his brothers' inheritance and did not give them their share, and claimed that he had sold it but had not received the price, and he has now regretted it

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A man sold his brothers' inheritance and did not give it to them, and did not give his brothers their share. When they demanded it from him, he lied to them and said that he had sold it but had not received the price. He says that it appears he will give them from his own money now, and he has regretted it and repented to Allah, but he does not like to admit the truth to them so that they do not think ill of him. His question is: What is required of him, and what should he do now?

Answer:
If he gives them their share, praise be to Allah, the requirement has been met, and there is no need to investigate the matters and things. It is their share, and that is sufficient, and the objective has been achieved.
