What is the ruling on one who scolded a child and he died of a heart attack?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : from a professor.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : A man scolded a small child and killed him. Do the rulings of accidental killing apply to him, such as blood money or fasting for two consecutive months? The scolding was done with a loud voice, so the child was frightened and died of a heart attack from the fear.
The Shaykh : If that is established, then it is accidental killing. If it is established scientifically, then it is an accidental intent. Something is incumbent upon him, my professor. Please proceed. The ruling of error and all its consequences are established.
