Is it obligatory for a thief whose hand has been amputated to return the stolen money?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... like zina?

The Shaykh : No, zina does not fall under this; say like theft.
If his hand is amputated, he must return the money to its owner. We say that the right of Allah has been fulfilled by the execution of the hadd punishment upon him, but he must ensure that the money reaches its owner.
