The Ruling on Demanding Compensation for Car Damage
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I own a car, and a person caused its destruction in a traffic accident. Is it permissible for me to demand compensation for it, or not? And is there a difference between the person who caused the car's destruction being the owner of the car he was driving, or being with a general company?
Answer:
You are required to demand compensation for the damage that occurred to your car. You demand from the one you demand from, the one who made the mistake, whether the driver or the one opposite him. And this is according to the traffic report. If the traffic department decides that the one who made the mistake is the one in your car, he is the one who bears it, unless he is excused. And if the traffic department decides that the mistake is on the opposite party, then the one who guarantees is the opposite party. Yes.
