Taking a small amount of money and the owner dies… should he give charity on his behalf or pay the heirs?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A person took money without right, and he was young, not knowing what the ruling was. Then, when he grew up, he wanted to return this money to its owner, but the owner of the money had passed away. His question is: May I give charity with this money on his behalf, knowing that he has heirs, but I do not want to be in an awkward position with the heirs?

Answer:
No, you must pay it to the heirs or the agent. The agent after the death of the deceased is the one to whom you must pay this right that the deceased had over you, to his agent. And you will not be free of liability except by doing so. Yes.
