Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If I take the car to the workshop, and the car mechanic works on it, and a part of the car, such as the hood, falls on him and he dies or is injured, is the car owner liable? Because he brought it to him?
Answer:
No, no, he is not liable; the car owner is not liable. It was obligatory for the worker to inspect the car so that nothing falls on him before he begins work; he should secure it. So he is the one who was negligent. Yes.
