The inheritance of the driver son if his father dies in an accident
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
The call to prayer.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, if the father was riding in his son’s car, and the son was the one driving, and they were involved in an accident, and the traffic authority ruled that the error was one hundred percent on the driver of the other car, is that son then…?
The Shaykh:
Yes, if the traffic authority ruled that the error was on the other party and not on the son, and the matter was taken to the court and the court approved this report, then there is nothing on the son. He does not go back to the court. If the court rules that the son is cleared of causing the death and places the entire responsibility, one hundred percent, on the other party, then the son is not prevented from inheriting, because he is not a killer and not one who caused the killing. Yes.
