The answer

If the money is shared among you and it is difficult to determine each person's share, it is best to seek reconciliation and distribute it fairly while considering forgiveness if someone has taken more than their rightful share. The Prophet ﷺ recommended fairness in division, resorting to drawing lots if needed, and ensuring mutual absolution and understanding.
