Killing several people by mistake: Is fasting two consecutive months sufficient for all of them?

Question:
May Allah reward you and make your knowledge beneficial. In his third question, he says: I was driving a car and had a traffic accident. In that accident, two children died. The traffic police came, and the families of the two children forgave me. According to the custom followed among us, I paid them a specific sum, which is the families' right. I ask you, Honorable Shaykh, to inform me about the right of Allah, Glorified and Exalted, which is the expiation. Do I fast two consecutive months for each child, or for the two children together? Or how is the expiation? Please guide us; may Allah reward you.

Answer:
If you are liable for the accident in which one or more people, whether adults or children, died, then you owe an expiation. It is freeing a slave. If you do not find one, then you fast two consecutive months. The expiation for accidental killing requires one of two things in order. The first is freeing a slave for whoever is able to do so, for whoever finds one and is able to free it. The second is fasting if he does not find a slave or is unable to free one; then he fasts two consecutive months. And whoever kills several people by mistake, each person has a separate expiation. So do you fast two consecutive months for each child? Yes.
