Mistake in paying a gentile

Stealing from a Non-Jew

Question

An Arab carpenter did some work for me. I was supposed to pay him in five monthly installments, which were to be paid by a bank transfer. I missed one of the installments, and the carpenter didn’t notice this. It’s been a few months since I paid the last installment. Do I have to pay him the installment that I missed?

Answer

Yes, you do have to pay the carpenter
