The ruling on inheritance if the court acquits the son of causing the death
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if the father was driving, but the one driving the car was the son, and an accident occurred between them, and the circumstances determined that the fault lay with the other car, is that son [permitted to inherit]?
Answer:
Yes, if the traffic department determined that the fault was with the other party and not with the son, and the matter was taken to the court and it approved this report, then the son owes nothing. He refers to the court. If the court rules to acquit the son of causing the death and places the full responsibility, one hundred percent, on the other party, then the son is not prevented from inheriting, because he is neither a killer nor one who caused the killing.
