The Ruling on Taking Compensation for a Car Accident
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If someone hits me with his car, is it permissible for me to take compensation from him?
Answer:
If he has damaged something of yours and he is the one at fault, the one who is liable, then there is nothing wrong with taking this in exchange for what was damaged of your car. If he is the one at fault and the one who is liable, there is nothing wrong with that, because this is compensation for what happened to the car. However, if it was not due to his fault, it is not permissible for you to take anything from him.

May Allah reward you,
