The answer

If it becomes clear that an employee is a traitor, the employer has several options: to confront him and remind him to repent and request the return of what he took, while concealing his transgression, or to refer his case to the judiciary and prove his treachery with evidence. If unable to provide proof, the employer has no recourse but to take an oath. Then, the employer should dismiss him from work due to his unsuitability, in accordance with the Almighty's saying: "Indeed, the best of those whom you could hire is the strong and the trustworthy." Or, to dismiss him from work directly without stating the reason and concealing his transgression, hoping that Allah will conceal the employer's shortcomings, and that the employee will repent and be guided.
