The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Please, my brother Fawaz. Fawaz.

The Shaykh:
Peace be upon you.

The questioner:
Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh:
May Allah keep you in good health, Shaykh 'Abd al-Karim.

The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe. You have Shaykh Salih with you, please go ahead.

The Shaykh:
May Allah keep you in good health, Shaykh Salih.

The questioner:
The Shaykh cannot hear, my brothers.

The Shaykh:
Peace be upon you. Peace be upon you.

The questioner:
And peace be upon you. Please, my question, Shaykh Salih, is about my brother who was in an accident and passed away. Yes. And it turned out that the cause of the accident was him. Yes. So, did he pass away—may Allah have mercy on him—and did those who were in the accident with him pass away? Is there a ransom payment due from him?

The presenter:
The first question. Okay, let me answer the Shaykh on this. He says that his brother, Honorable Shaykh, was in an accident, and the brother died, and those with him died. He asks: What is required of us, the heirs?

The Shaykh:
This is referred to the Shari'ah court to examine the causes of the accident and who is responsible for it. It is necessary to verify this at the Shari'ah court, and the court relies on the traffic report. Yes.

The questioner:
Regarding fasting, is there anything required of the family?

The Shaykh:
The court is the one that decides these matters.

The questioner:
Something.
