What should a son do who stole his father's money while his father was alive, and then the father died: should he give the money in charity or divide it among the heirs? And what is the guidance and advice for him and for young people in general?

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.
