[Returning Haram earnings]

السؤال

Salaam. I hope this question finds you in the best of health. When I was younger, I did some things I was not proud of. I took substantial funds from a company to which I was not entitled to. I have asked Allah for forgiveness and bitterly regret ever getting involved in such deeds. I am aware that I need to reimburse the loss to the company. There are two parts to my question : Firstly, if I return the funds, do I also have to admit to my actions ? This will cause serious issues and could well result in legal ramifications for me which will cause my family problems ; attached to this are the embarrassment and the shame that come with being caught for such deeds. Therefore, can I arrange to reimburse them anonymously and will this suffice ? Secondly, the company in question is involved in various misdeeds around the world against our Muslim brothers and sisters as well as others. This includes the encouragement of the oppression of communities. If I reimburse them, there is a realistic prospect that these funds could be used for such a purpose. Therefore, should I reimburse the funds knowing that they could be used for this purpose ? Or should I donate it to charity instead (even though it's not my money to give) ? Jazakum Allah for your time. Wassalam.
