Allah has forbidden people's wealth, and in this, the near and the far are equal, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, your blood, your wealth, and your honor are sacred to you." You must repent and return the books or their value to the grandmother's heirs if possible. Otherwise, their value should be given as charity, and Allah's forgiveness should be sought.
