Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is a car to be compared to a riding animal in a person's possession, such that he is liable for what the car causes in its front, but not for what it causes with the rear bumper?
Answer:
The car is owned; he owns its front and its rear. He moves it, just as with a riding animal. With a riding animal, he does not own its rear, but with a car, it is he who moves it, both front and back. Yes, he is liable for its harm.
