Is it permissible for my female relative to go to the store manager to ask him whether he wants compensation or if he will forgive her regarding the amount for the glass that her daughter broke, knowing that the manager is not the original owner of the store and it is difficult to reach the original owner?

What is obligatory is to ascertain the position of the center owner or their representative regarding the guarantee for the glass broken by the girl, because the workers have no concern with that. The girl's damage to the glass necessitates her guaranteeing it from her own wealth, whether she is religiously accountable or not. What the girl's mother intends is not sufficient for acquittal from what the girl damaged; rather, the one whose forgiveness is beneficial is the owner, not the person in charge, unless the person in charge is authorized in that regard.
