Q 1: When I was a teenager, I took some seedlings from a neighboring farm without its owner's permission and I planted them in my farm; what should I do regarding this? I would like to inform you that I am ready to do any thing to be saved from the punishment of this deed, what should I do?

A: It is Wajib (obligatory) on you that you return what you have taken in the case that you are able to do so. Otherwise, you have to give back similar seedlings or the value of the ones that you took. However, in the case that your neighbor waives their right and forgives you; nothing is incumbent upon you. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
