Is it permissible for a person

Q: I used to steal money when I was a teenager and it happened that a poor widow kept a sum of money with us as a trust. Nevertheless, I stole a sum between one hundred and two hundred riyals three or four times from that lady's money and Allah knows best. Anyway, now (Part No. 15; Page No. 336) I am blessed with the guidance of Allah, the Lord of Glory and Majesty. Whenever I remember or see that lady I feel excessive sadness and remorse for what I have done. Currently I am a student. I deal very kindly with the concerned lady, I help her with whatever she needs, and I do her shopping all for the sake of Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) but I am extremely confused regarding this matter.

A: In case the reality is exactly as you have mentioned, return this money to the concerned lady even if you do so without telling her. Otherwise, you have to ask her to waive her right in that money. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
