The liability of the perpetrator and the 'aqilah for the blood money of accidental and quasi-intentional homicide

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding accidental and quasi-intentional homicide, the blood money is on the 'aqilah. Does the perpetrator bear any part of it with them if he is able to pay?

Answer:
No, he does not bear anything. Allah has not imposed anything on him. This is on the 'aqilah. However, if he volunteers to pay some from his own funds, there is nothing wrong with that. But to compel him, no, he owes nothing. Yes.
