Is taking a small amount of money from her grandfather's money without his knowledge, with the intention of buying ablution necessities, considered theft that necessitates returning the money to the heirs after his death, especially given the impossibility of disclosing it to one of the heirs (the maternal uncle) due to his severed family ties, and the possibility of charging her phone balance as an alternative?
You must return the money you unjustly took from your grandfather to his heirs. To simply top up their phones with call credit is not enough. You are not required to tell them that you took the money unjustly. Rather, it is sufficient to return the right by any means that does not cause you embarrassment, such as telling your maternal uncle that you owe your grandfather a debt and wish to return his share.
