Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: My father died in a car accident, and one of the workers was with him, and we paid his family the blood money. Does my father have to free a slave, or fast, and how do his sons fast on his behalf?
Answer:
If your father was found liable in the accident, his liability was established in court, and the Sharia ruling was issued obligating him to pay the blood money, then he owes the expiation. If you wish to be dutiful to him and do him good, you fast on his behalf for two consecutive months. Yes.
