Peace be upon you.
Ayatollah Khamenei and Ayatollah Sistani (may Allah protect them):
The situation varies depending on the intention of the car owner who returned the money. If he returned it after having ownership of it, we need to understand his intention—did he intend to give it to you or to your son? Alternatively, if he never owned it and was not willing to accept the money in the first place, then if the money was yours after the loan, your son can repay it on your behalf as a donation. In this case, the money, once returned, would still belong to you since it was originally yours. However, if the loan was in your name merely for the transaction but your son was the one who received and owned the money, then after its return, it would remain your son's property.
May you be successful in all good.
