Determining when killing is considered accidental

The student : If you please, regarding the topic I want to discuss, I would like it to be extensive because there have been many questions about it.

The Shaykh : It is not up to you.
The student : As you command, my Shaykh.

The Shaykh : It is not up to you. This is not the time for expansion; this is the time for brevity, sin and jim. It is two o'clock, only two hours. If we want to give a lecture, it means we have reduced the answers.
The student : Please, our Shaykh.

The Shaykh : If you had parked your car in a place that is permissible by Shari'ah and by law, for your peace of mind, not just by Shari'ah but also by law, for your peace of mind, not just by Shari'ah but also by law, and you started it and walked away, and then a person attached himself to the car and you did not know and did not feel it.
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : Then on the road, a situation required you to brake. You braked, the attached person fell and crashed into a car and died. Are you an accidental killer? Say: I do not know.
The student : I do not know.

The Shaykh : You are not an accidental killer because you did not cause the killing. The one who caused it is the deceased. Is that clear?

The questioner : Is that clear?

The Shaykh : Well, accidental killing is when a person shoots at a wild animal or a bird, and the bullet or arrow hits a farmer in his field or a person in his home. This is called...
The student : This is an accident.

The Shaykh : For me? Because the deceased did not cause it; you did not cause it. This is what must be noted in the matter. And I am giving an example now that happens in some foreign countries. A person is driving a car, and there is one of the madmen of Europe or America who is desperate about life. I recall on this occasion in Lebanon, in Beirut, a rock they call the Rock of Death. Have you heard of it?
The student : For suicide.

The Shaykh : Suicide.
The student : Al-Roushah.

The Shaykh : Well done. Who said "you"?
The student : ... .

The Shaykh : So the plan is that he means to slit his own throat. He goes, he climbs this rock, and he throws himself, and to Hell, and what an evil destination. This is a suicide. There are people who are artistic, as you know, in the method of suicide, right? One of these methods is to leave a car moving and throw himself. This is a suicide. Is the driver of the car a killer?
The student: No.

The Shaykh : Ha, this is praise be to Allah, you returned to repentance with me.
The student : The government now does not distinguish between this.

The Shaykh : No, I do not care about the government. I care about what is related to the Shari'ah. Is that clear? Is that clear?
The student : Yes, it is clear.
Another student : Seriously.

The Shaykh : That is the intended meaning.
