Killing with a weapon at gatherings and whether it is intentional

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Is the killing that sometimes happens at some gatherings considered intentional killing?

Answer:
No, it is not intentional; it is not considered intentional killing. But if he takes a weapon with him or fires a weapon and hits someone, this is considered accidental or quasi-intentional. In quasi-intentional or accidental killing, there is an expiation and a blood money debt. However, it is forbidden to enter gatherings with a weapon. If he has a weapon that is necessary, he locks it and secures it. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
