Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person kills several people by mistake, does he owe one expiation, or does he owe expiations equal to the number of people killed?
Answer:
He owes multiple expiations equal to the number of people killed. So if he hits a car with his vehicle and the mistake is his, he owes an expiation for every soul, or if he drives badly and the car overturns and they die, he owes a separate expiation for every soul.
