Expiation and Blood Money in Unintentional Killing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
It is necessary to return to the court.
The Shaykh:
It is necessary to return to the Sharia court, if there is a Sharia court in your country. As for if there is no Sharia court, then look into it. Your brother knows whether he was the cause, and whether he was negligent at the time of the incident. This is what the expiation is upon him; the expiation is upon him, and it is freeing a slave. If he does not find one, he fasts two consecutive months. As for the blood money, this is blood money for an error, and it is upon his heirs, and they are his residuary male heirs. Your residuary male heirs bear the blood money. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good, Shaykh Salih. In conclusion, we extend to you our sincere thanks, after thanking Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
The Shaykh:
Constantly.
The presenter:
We are pleased to provide answers to our brother listeners. May we meet again with you in good health. Dear listeners, our meeting in this episode was with the Honorable Shaykh Salih ibn Fawzan al-Fawzan, a member of the Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta
The Shaykh:
