Return your share of the value

Q 2: My father used to work in a company and some of the equipment was not needed anymore, or it broke down while in storage or the company might need them later, however, my father and other workers used to take them. Is it enough to cleanse my father of his sin that my brothers give in charity the estimated value of the equipment, as some of them are very expensive? Are my brothers sinners for neglecting this matter?

A: The equipment your father took from the company or their value, if they are not present, should be returned. If it is difficult to return the equipment or their value to the company, you can give the money in charity to the poor, dedicating its reward to its owners.
