Returning stolen money
Question
I took/stole some money when I was much younger and I am not sure whether I took zakaat or lillah money. Now when I am going to put the money back, what must I write on the envelope (because I'm not sure what money it was).
Answer
You do not have to write anything. Just return the money to the rightful owner.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
