The Ruling on Blood Money and Expiation in a Car Accident
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Or the Shaykh’s night. The car arrived and the owner of the car passed away, and he places it in the following cases: if the payment is upon him at half of twenty-five percent in water, or if the payment is upon the owner of the car in exchange for attracting us, and they have ideas.
Answer:
As for the error, if it is 100% on the other party, then you owe nothing. But if you bear any share of the accident, however small, then you owe the blood money (diyah) and the expiation (kaffarah). You owe the share of the blood money corresponding to your share of the fault; if you bear a quarter of the share, you owe a quarter of the blood money, and if you bear half the share, you owe half the blood money. As for the expiation, a full expiation is obligatory, even if you bear only one percent; a full expiation is required of you, which is freeing a slave,[An-Nisa 4:92].
