Q: A friend of mine had the habit of taking money from her mother in laws wallet. She now regrets the wrong she has done. What should she do to repay the amount she took. Her mother in law is now deceased. Please advise.
A: She should sincerely repent for her sin and under some pretext she should return the stolen money to her deceased mother in law's estate .
One easy way is that she tells the family that a woman gave her the money and said that she borrowed it from the deceased.
After returning the money to the estate, the money will have to be distributed among all the heirs according to their stipulated shares of inheritance.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
