The Expiation for Unintentional Killing and the Inability of the Obligated Person to Fulfill It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Salih, may Allah preserve you and bless you. The listener Ali Ahmad Sa'id al-Sakrani from Taiz in Yemen says: Is there an expiation for unintentional killing in accidents other than fasting two consecutive months? Please inform us. May Allah reward you with the best reward and benefit the Muslim community through you.
The Shaykh:
Unintentional killing has an expiation, which is freeing a slave. If one does not find a slave, he must fast two consecutive months. Yes.
The presenter:
Is there anything other than fasting?
The Shaykh:
There is nothing other than these two things. Yes.
The presenter:
And what about one who is unable, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
It remains a debt on his person. If any of his relatives or any of the Muslims pays it on his behalf, that is sufficient. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
