Is it permissible to return excess money mistakenly received from a company to one of its branches in the form of furniture and work supplies, with the intention of repayment, knowing that the remaining money accumulated after the error was corrected from the date of employment to the date of reporting?

Money taken unjustly must be returned to its owner, along with repentance and seeking forgiveness, for the restitution of injustices is a condition for the acceptance of repentance concerning the rights of people. If an employee took money from their company, they must return it to the company by any possible means, even in the form of a donation or work supplies the company needs, while concealing their identity, in accordance with His, the Almighty's, saying: (So fear Allah as much as you are able).
