Making up what was missed before reaching puberty and returning the rights of people

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And is it obligatory to return it? Likewise, breaking the fast during the day in Ramadan: is it obligatory for you to make it up before reaching puberty, or is there a ruling on you?

Answer:
Making up Ramadan, because fasting was not obligatory on you. As for the injustices and rights of people, if you are able to return them, it is obligatory for you to do so. A minor is not excused in this, nor is a madman or an imbecile; one is not excused regarding the rights of people. It is necessary to return them to their owners if that is possible. If you do not know them, you should give this money in charity, with the intention that the reward belongs to their owners, if you are unable to return it to the one to whom it is attributed in your liability. A minor is not excused for playing with people's money or taking it. Even if a beast eats people's money, its owner must guarantee it if he was negligent.
