The answer

Allah Almighty does not burden a soul beyond its capacity. It is not within a person's power to prevent someone they do not know from using what was stolen from them for unlawful purposes. Therefore, there is no sin upon the one whose money was stolen and then used for unlawful purposes. Rather, you will be rewarded if you endure patiently and seek recompense for your calamity.
