Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man was driving his car on one of the streets at night, and suddenly a worker came out into the street, so he hit him and the worker died. Traffic determined that the error was on the worker. His question is: Is blood money and expiation obligatory upon this driver, given that he did not commit any negligence?
Answer:
Accidents are referred to the Shari'ah courts, especially since this is a foreign worker; his embassy is involved, and procedures are required. One follows whatever the court rules.
