Question

I would like to know in the past i have took money from close relatives when i was younger and i want to pay them back but without knowing i had took it from them?is it possible for me to do that?

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

It will suffice for you to return the money to your relatives without disclosing the reasons for giving them the money. You may even state that you are giving them a gift.

And Allah knows best

Wassalam

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
