The answer

The burden of a forbidden relationship is not lifted by returning or disposing of the illicit money, but rather by sincere repentance. Illicit money that has been acquired should not be returned to its owner; instead, it should be spent on charitable causes and public welfare. However, if you do return it to its owner, there is no harm in that.
