If the surplus amount is not rightfully yours, it must be returned to the state treasury if they dispense justice with it. Otherwise, it should be spent on charitable causes and the general welfare of Muslims, or given as charity to the poor. It is preferable that a judge or a knowledgeable religious scholar oversee this matter.
