The ruling on one who died with another person in an accident, and the fault lies with the other party

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The questioner says: A person was involved in an accident, and another person died with him, and the fault lies with the other party. What is obligatory upon him? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
By Allah, this case goes to the courts to be determined based on the traffic report. However, from the perspective of the general rule, not from the perspective of ruling on this specific case, we say: if the person you mentioned is not found liable in the accident, not even one percent, then he owes nothing. If it is established that he is not liable in the accident, not even one percent, then he owes nothing. It falls upon the one who is liable in the accident. This is from the perspective of the general rule. As for ruling on this specific case, it requires the court's review.
