Is the 1,0 Riyals I took from the Indian worker in exchange for transferring his sponsorship, and before his final departure, mine, or must I return it to him?

The questioner is not entitled to the thousand Riyals he took from the sponsored individual, and he must return them to him, because sponsorship is a contract of donation, not exchange, and because the amount was taken on a condition that was not met.
