Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A person was involved in an accident where the car overturned, and a person died with him. Is he required to perform the expiation of fasting for two months?
Answer:
By Allah, this depends on the traffic report. If the traffic authority determines that he bears responsibility for the accident, even by one percent, he is required to perform the expiation. Yes, he is required to perform the expiation, and he is also required to pay the blood money if it is demanded. However, if the traffic authority determines that there was no negligence on his part and he is not liable for anything, then he owes nothing. Yes.
