Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, Allah decreed upon me an accident in which a Hindu man died as a result. The blood money has been paid, and the traffic report states that the killing was accidental. His question is: Is fasting obligatory upon me? Yes.
Answer:
Fasting is obligatory upon you, because the soul is one whose killing Allah has forbidden, and He has made the blood money and the expiation obligatory for the killing of a protected non-Muslim or a non-Muslim granted safe conduct[An-Nisa 4:92].

وَإِن كَانَ مِن قَوْمٍ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُم مِّيثَاقٌ فَدِيَةٌ مُّسَلَّمَةٌ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ وَتَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ مُّؤْمِنَةٍ
