The answer

Islam has preserved the Muslim's blood, property, and honor, and forbidden aggression against them. Therefore, if the questioner took his uncle's money, he must repent to Allah and return the money to him, either directly or indirectly, such as by buying something he needs. If he does not do so, his repentance is incomplete and unacceptable.
