The amount of blood money for accidental homicide in car accidents
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a person causes a traffic accident, and a man dies in the accident, and the traffic department determines that the person responsible is fifty percent liable for the accident, does he pay half the blood money, or is the full blood money required of him? Do you mean the one who caused it or the one directly involved?
Answer:
He is liable for the blood money in proportion to the percentage determined by the traffic department. If they determine that he is ten percent liable, he pays one-tenth of the blood money; if he is half liable, he pays half the blood money. He pays according to the degree of liability determined by the traffic department, if the judge rules accordingly. If the judge rules that, he bears the cost in proportion to his share of liability in the accident.
