The Categories of Killing and the Ruling on Quasi-Accidental Killing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, there is a fourth division, which is quasi-accidental killing. Is this correct? And what is the ruling on it?
Answer:
Yes. Some scholars hold this view. In *Al-Muqni'*, it is mentioned that killing falls into four categories: intentional, quasi-intentional, accidental, and quasi-accidental. They say that the killing committed by a child or a person of unsound mind is quasi-accidental. However, the correct view is that it falls under the first two categories.
