What is incumbent upon a man who took money unjustly from his deceased employer? Should he return the money to the heirs, or should he give it as charity with the intention of reward for him? Is it sufficient to give it to the eldest of his children, or must it be delivered to all the heirs? And is his responsibility discharged if he asks for forgiveness from the deceased's eldest son?

A man's obligation is not discharged except by returning the money to the heirs, if he is able. He should give each adult his share, and entrust the minor's share to his guardian. The forgiveness of the eldest brother is not sufficient except for his own share, even if he is a guardian. If it is impossible to reach the heirs, the money must be given as charity with the intention that its reward be for them. If he later becomes able to reach them, he should give them the choice between approving the charity or returning the money, while he retains the reward of the charity. Repentance must be completed with remorse and a firm resolve not to return to the sin.
