Is it permissible for someone who stole CDs in their youth to send their price to the store under another pretext, such as "accounting error," after repenting and discarding the CDs, and is that sufficient for their repentance along with fulfilling its other conditions?
If the theft occurred before puberty, there is no sin, but the stolen item must be returned to its owner.
However, if the theft occurred after puberty, one must repent and return the stolen item or its value to its owner without informing him of the theft.
