The ruling on one who runs over a child and dies
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A person ran over a child and died. What fasting is obligatory for him? Is the fasting to be consecutive or intermittent?
Answer:
This is a discussion about fasting only. The discussion regarding blood money and the investigation of the accident—what were its causes?—that is referred to the court, the Shari'ah court. And as a general ruling, he owes blood money and he owes expiation, because it is a respected soul.
