The answer

You must take the initiative to return this money to its owners. It is not a condition to inform them of what happened; rather, you can return it to them through indirect means, such as a message, a postal transfer, or by adding it to their bank account. Sheikh Ibn 'Uthaymeen mentioned that whoever repents from theft must return the stolen item or its value to its owner. He can employ a stratagem by sending it without disclosing his name, along with a message clarifying that the money is from someone who has repented to Allah.
