The ruling on one who drives fast and is involved in an accident

Question:
May Allah reward you. This person says: What about speeding and recklessness when driving, in the case of an accident? Is the one who sped and was involved in an accident considered a suicide?

Answer:
If he intended to kill himself, then he is a suicide. If he sped in the car to kill himself, this is suicide. But if that was not his intention, and his intention was to cover the distance quickly, or if he was permitted to speed, then he is a sinner. This is considered a sinner. If he died, or if someone died because of him, this is a crime that obligates him to pay blood money and expiation. It obligates him to pay blood money and expiation. If it was intentional, retaliation is obligatory upon him. If he intentionally ran over a person and killed him, retaliation is obligatory upon him. But if he did not intend it and did not aim to kill, but he was excessive in his speed, then he is the cause, and his killing is either quasi-intentional or accidental. He owes blood money and expiation, and repentance to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He.
