Question:
Abu Salih from Najran, please go ahead, my brother Abu Salih. Turn the television down a little, Abu Salih, please. Yes, hello, peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. Shaykh, I just want to ask the Shaykh. By Allah, I hit a man with my car, but he was not in the lane on a highway after the Maghrib prayer. He is of Hindu nationality, and praise be to Allah, he was admitted to intensive care, and praise be to Allah, after that he was transferred from intensive care to the general ward. Now he is still not speaking. Does he have a sin on him, or is there something else? Or should I pray for him to be free of sin, or what is his situation? The question is clear, Abu.
Answer:
My brother, this is a judicial matter. It is referred to the traffic report, then it is submitted to the Sharia court, which examines it and informs you of what is obligatory upon you. Yes.
