The answer

The remaining money that is owed must be returned to its owner. It is sufficient for it to reach him by any means without informing him. Giving it as charity is not permissible as long as its owner is alive and it can be returned to him. Since the money belongs to the existing company, it must be returned to the two partners so that each of them can take their share. If you wish to conceal your identity, you can return the entire remaining amount to each of them, or inform them of the right and hand it over to them in a way that does not harm you. If they take it or forgive you, your responsibility will be cleared. The disgrace of this world is easier to bear than the disgrace of the Hereafter.
