The ruling on one who caused the death of his father by car
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If the father is elderly and asks his son to take him by car to his personal errands, and the son takes him once, and an accident occurs in which the father dies, is the son considered a killer and thus barred from inheritance?
Answer:
This depends on the nature of the situation. If the son was negligent, such as driving poorly or being distracted, or if he did not check the car before driving, then he is liable because he was negligent. However, if he was not at fault, he was driving well, he was not sleepy, he did not speed, and the car was in good condition, then he owes nothing, whether his father was with him or someone else.
