Question:
The questioner says: A young girl was hit by a car from behind while she was returning from school. She was the one who was hit because she was playing. She was playing with her classmates beside the road. After this collision, she died. So what is required of me?
Answer:
This requires investigation into the matter, the traffic report on the accident, and determining whose fault the error was. Did it happen because of you or because of her? It requires this, but if it is established that there was no negligence on your part, and that she was the cause of the accident, then you owe nothing. However, if it is established that there was negligence on your part, then you are liable for the accident, and you owe the blood money and the expiation. Yes.
