A man pushed a man onto another man intentionally; who is liable?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If a man pushed another, and there was a second man in front of the other man, and he pushed him, so the third man fell,
The Shaykh : he pushed him onto a man, one man pushed another man onto yet another man, then.
The questioner : This one pushed, and the third and the second.
The Shaykh : The liability is on the first one, because the second one has no choice; this second one is in the position of a stone. If he had a choice, then it is on him. But this is unlikely. Leave it for later, be silent. That he has a choice as long as he is being pushed.
