The Ruling on a Grandfather Waiving His Right to Blood Money, in Which the Deceased's Children Have a Right
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A man passed away, leaving behind three sons, the eldest of whom is five years old. He died in a traffic accident. The father of this deceased man wants to waive the blood money. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
He waives only his own share. As for the share of the deceased man’s sons, he does not waive it on their behalf; rather, he preserves it for them until they reach maturity. Once they reach maturity, the choice is theirs: if they wish, they may forgive the debt, and if they wish, they may take their share of the blood money.
