Does the accidental killer inherit, and when is the blood money due?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He says: In the case where a father kills his son accidentally, how is the blood money handled? And likewise, if a husband kills his wife, does the fact that he is an heir count? In both cases, if I have a description of the situation in both cases, this killing—we do not know, and I inherit. How is the killing? How is the blood money? And what does that mean? If he killed him accidentally, the blood money is due on him, and he does not inherit. If it was intentional, he does not inherit. If it was accidental? If it was accidental, the blood money is due on his 'aqilah (clan), yes, and it is paid to the heirs. But does the father inherit or not? I wanted to answer him and said no, but I do not want to answer him. Killing is one of the obstacles to inheritance. If it was intentional, there is no doubt that it is an obstacle. If it was accidental, there is scholarly disagreement, and the correct view is that it does not prevent inheritance. So, if a son is driving his father's car and an accident occurs accidentally and his father dies, the correct view is that he inherits from him. This is said on behalf of the questioner, the student Kamil al-Jaza'ir. On his behalf, and where is the player? How? Does a person act on behalf of himself?
