We have previously answered this question in no. 120573. We would like to add an answer regarding the profit generated from the money that your brother took: Jurists have differed on its ruling, whether it belongs to the usurper, or to the owner of the money, or if they should both give it away as charity, or if the profit should be shared between them.
