Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, sometimes the security guards open fire, but they cannot aim in a specific direction to deter the thieves. Then they discover afterwards that there is a dead person. Do they have to pay blood money or compensation in this case if it is established that they killed him?
Answer:
This depends on whether they were given permission. If they were authorized by the one in authority to fire their guns to deter criminals, and they were given permission for this, then they do not have to pay compensation. However, if they were not authorized and were prohibited from doing this, then they do have to pay compensation. Yes.
