The Expiation for Unintentional Killing in Traffic Accidents
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Here, Shaykh, is a specific question. He says: A brother, a man, died with eight other people, and this was the result of a collision with another car. The traffic department ruled that he was at fault to the extent of forty percent. Does he owe an expiation?
Answer:
Are they all expiations? Is it a shared expiation? Is this an expiation and this an expiation? Meaning, it is not distributed, it is not divided, it is divisible. As for the expiation, it is like an expiation for this one and an expiation for that one. And if he returns, out of desire, between two months of fasting and feeding sixty poor people, this is for the mistake or suspicion regarding him.
The presenter:
