The intellect regarding specific individuals or regarding families

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the matter of the 'aqilah, is the intellect (liability) on the specific individuals or on their families?

The Shaykh:
How?

The questioner:
He says: Regarding the matter of the 'aqilah, is the intellect (liability) on the specific individuals or on the families, such that it is said, "So-and-so's family is liable for this," and "So-and-so's family is liable for that"?

The Shaykh:
What is the families' sin? They have no sin. It is on the individuals themselves, on the 'asabah (residuary male heirs), on the 'asabah, not on their families. Yes.
