Smuggling Cigarettes and the Death of a Partner in an Accident

The questioner:
You loved Allah. This questioner says: Your Eminence the Shaykh, may Allah reward you with all good. For twenty-five years, my group and I were smuggling cigarettes into the Kingdom from Kuwait without going through customs. And, yes. The patrols were chasing us. I was driving the car one night, and the decision was up to my partner who was in the front, as he was a partner in the decision and the profit. The patrol chased us, and we turned off the lights until we got away from them. I wanted to turn the light on twice, but my partner prevented me. The car hit a solid object, which caused it to overturn and my partner to die. Is fasting obligatory for me or not? Inform us, may Allah reward you with good. Yes, yes.

The Shaykh:
First, you must repent to Allah for assisting in sin and aggression, the smuggling of cigarettes. You must repent to Allah for that, because you facilitated evil and sin. Second, you must pay the expiation, because it is a death caused by your actions, because you were driving without lights. So you must pay the expiation, and the 'asabah (residuary male heirs) must pay the blood money if this is established. And you must repent to Allah and feel remorse for what happened from you. We ask Allah for guidance for everyone. The expiation is where the believing slave is, if you are unable, you fast two consecutive months, sixty days. I am able, except for eating, yes, I fast and I do not shorten.
Do not buy an expiation. Write to us and we will buy one for you. You write to us and put your address, and we will buy one for you from the African side, where there are known slaves, if you can. Yes.

Another questioner:
What is it?

The Shaykh:
About ten thousand, but it remains with you until the judge comes. Yes.

Another questioner:
Who caused the periods?

The Shaykh:
I obeyed him in disobedience to Allah.

Another questioner:
Yes, and I am coming. Ha.

The Shaykh:
You both agreed to the sin.
