The answer

If money is taken unjustly or by force, it is obligatory to return it to its owners, or to seek their forgiveness, or to reconcile with them for a certain amount. If it is impossible to reach them or their heirs, it is permissible to give it away in charity on their behalf, while striving to estimate their right accurately.
