Blood money for accidental injury by a hired driver and who bears it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, if a man hires a driver.
The Shaykh:
That is, the Saudi riyal would be equivalent to four Nabawi riyals and more.
The questioner:
If a man hires a driver, and the driver accidentally runs over a man, is the blood money on the driver's kin in his country, or on the driver's employer? And how is the matter handled if the driver is a disbeliever?
The Shaykh:
This is for the judges; we do not intervene in criminal cases. The judges investigate them and look into them. We only have general rules. As for specific incidents that occur, they are referred to the courts and the judges. May Allah assist them. Yes.
