Returning the rights of people

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I am seventy years old, and I used to buy and sell in vegetable shops. In fact, I have financial matters belonging to some people with me, which I took from them out of ignorance. I want to return these rights, even though these people have died and their children have scattered. How can a person clear his conscience of the rights of others?

Answer:
Answer: He does not clear his conscience except by returning them to them if they are alive, or by returning them to their heirs if their owners have died. He returns them to their heirs. He does not clear his conscience except by doing so, because they remain a debt upon him, so he must pay them to their heirs.
