Send some employees to buy what is needed

Q 3: I used to work for a Korean company in Sudan as a cook, and a Korean cook used to work with me. He sold me some of the company's things without the manager's knowledge. I also took some things illegally from the company. This happened many years ago. Now I am in (Part No. 15; Page No. 348) Jordan, and the company no longer exists in Sudan. Will I be punished by Allah? I took some wood from the company and used it to make chairs, beds and doors, although I know it is illegal. What should I do? Please advise, may Allah reward you. I fear Allah so much, given that this was before Tawbah (repentance to Allah).

A: You should return the things you took or their value to the company, even if through a bank. If you can not do it, you should give their value as Sadaqah (voluntary charity) to the poor with the intention of giving the reward to the owner, while performing Tawbah and Istighfar (seeking forgiveness from Allah) for what has happened. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
