Question:
The questioner says: An accident happened to my car, and a person who was with me in the car died. What is the ruling?
Answer:
This goes back to the cause of the accident. If the accident happened without any negligence on your part, you owe nothing. However, if you were negligent and caused the accident, you are liable for the blood money and the expiation. The blood money is the responsibility of the 'aqilah, meaning your clan and relatives, and you are responsible for the expiation, which is freeing a slave. If[An-Nisa 4:92], and if you were involved in the accident, even to the extent of one percent, you are liable for the expiation.
