The answer

If a daughter stole money from her father and cannot confess to him, she must return the money to him by any means that does not result in harm or embarrassment. It is not a condition to inform him that she stole it. If she does not possess the money, she remains indebted and must return it whenever she becomes able. If she is repentant and determined to return it, she is not to be blamed for her inability to return it.
