How to return money earned through haraam and illegal means, if owner has died( Passed away)
Answer
It is not permissible to use tricks and deceit to earn money. The money that result from that is haram wealth, because it was taken unlawfully. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Plotting and scheming lead to Hell.” Al-Bayhaqi narrated it in Shu‘ab al-Iman and al-Albani classed it as sahih in Sahih al-Jami‘ (6725).
Al-Bukhari narrated it in his Sahih, in a mu‘allaq report, as: “Deceit leads to Hell; whoever does an action that is not in accordance with our matter, it will be rejected.”
Secondly:
You must return the money that you acquired by means of deceit to its owners. If it is not possible to find them, you must give it in charity on their behalf.
Ibn al-Qayyim said: If what was taken was taken without the consent of its owner, and he did not receive compensation for it, he must return it to him. If it is not possible to return it, he should pay off a debt that he knows he owes to other people. If that is not possible, then he should return it to his heirs. If that is not possible, he should give it in charity on his behalf.
