The ruling on killing due to exceeding the speed limit while driving
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a car driver exceeds the speed of his car by one hundred and twenty kilometers, and he argues about the lights and what is being suppressed, is his action considered a minor error or a mistake?
Answer:
It is not considered a mistake; it is not considered an error. It is not like Hamzah’s case, and he never intended to kill, nor did killing come to his mind. He just wanted to arrive quickly; that was his intention. His intention was to arrive quickly. However, if he intentionally kills, it is considered intentional. If he intentionally says, “I accelerated to a tremendous speed so that an accident would happen and the passengers would die,” and he admits to this, it is considered intentional, meaning he is like one who kills.
