Blood money for accidental injury when the perpetrator is wealthy or has no 'aqilah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the one who caused the accidental injury is wealthy and capable, is the 'aqilah (clan) obligated to pay the blood money? How much?
The Shaykh:
Yes, the 'aqilah is obligated to pay the blood money, even if the perpetrator is wealthy; because he owes nothing, rather it is upon his 'aqilah, yes.
The questioner:
I say, Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
If it happens that he has no 'aqilah, he has no 'aqilah, the blood money returns to him and is not lost, the blood money returns to him and is not lost, because it was only made obligatory upon the 'aqilah as a burden to bear, so if they are not found, the blood money returns to him, yes.
