The answer

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).
