The answer

It is not permissible to take another's property without right. Whoever does so must repent and return the rights to their owners. If the thief dies, their heirs must seek forgiveness for them, give charity on their behalf, and return the stolen property. If they do not know the exact amount, they should return what they believe to be most likely, along with compensation for any damage and the equivalent of rent. If direct restitution causes harm, they should return it indirectly.
