Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A car accident happened to me a year ago, in which I hit another car with my car. During the traffic investigation of the accident, it was determined that the fault lay with the second car, and the driver of that car died half an hour after the accident. I was not at fault, except that I was driving a little fast when the accident occurred, and the speed was not mentioned in the case. The deceased's family refused to settle the matter. I am now confused, so what is your advice, and what am I required to do?
Answer:
This is a case, a case that belongs to the Sharia court to look into. This requires knowing the nature of the accident: is the responsibility on both parties or on one of them? This requires examining the case, and only a judge in the court can examine it.
