What should one do who poured gasoline on a camp with his friend then repented, but cannot communicate with the friend to share the burden of injustice, and does not know the value of the damaged camp to give it in charity, especially since his financial situation is limited?

The questioner is congratulated on his repentance. It is explained that his agreement with his friend to commit the crime of theft makes them jointly liable for compensating what was damaged, such that each of them guarantees all the stolen items, and he may (then) reclaim from his companion the amount of his share. This is supported by Ibn Rushd's statement that conspirators in usurpation or theft each guarantee all that they took, and this is likened to a group of people gathering to kill a man, whereupon they are all executed. Therefore, the thief must pay the full value of the stolen items. Donating them as charity is not sufficient if the owner can be reached. It is not necessary to inform him of the full truth, but rather the right must be delivered to him by any means, or his absolution sought. If the owner cannot be identified, the value of the stolen items should be given as charity on his behalf.
