The answer

It is not permissible to buy or sell stolen goods. Rather, they must be returned to their owner if possible. Otherwise, they should be used for charitable causes and in the interest of Muslims. If you are compelled to buy them, there is no sin upon you, and the sin is upon the seller, who must be advised. If he does not desist, then the authorities capable of deterring him should be informed.
