The answer

The son must return the money he stole from his father to the inheritance, so that it can be distributed among the heirs according to their shares. He is not permitted to give it away as charity. He can conceal himself and bring the amount to the heirs, claiming that his father had demanded it from him, without admitting to the theft. We advise young people to be pious, upright, and to grow up in obedience.
