A Muslim Kills a Disbeliever by Car Collision: What Is His Obligation?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : One of the brothers called yesterday while you were in the bathroom. His name is Ziyad al-At'ut.
The Shaykh : What is his name?
The questioner : Ziyad al-At'ut.
The Shaykh : Al-'As'as?
The questioner : Al-At'ut.
The Shaykh : Al-At'ut.
The questioner : He says that his brother ran over a disbeliever. Does he have to fast?
The Shaykh : I do not know. Right now, it appears that he does, but I am not sure.
The questioner : Is there a distinction regarding the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan Ibn Majah 2660Sahih (Darussalam) concerning the previous question?
The Shaykh : This is accidental killing. On the other hand, there is no retaliation (qisas) here.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : I mean, there is no killing in exchange for killing here.
The questioner : Yes, this is accidental killing.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Yes. To confirm your answer from another angle, does it make a difference if the person was a dhimmi (a non-Muslim under Muslim protection) who pays the jizyah (the tax on protected non-Muslims), or not?
The Shaykh : Yes, if one accidentally kills a dhimmi, the blood money (diyah) is half.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, but does he have to pay blood money or not? Regarding the running over that I am asking about.
The questioner : Okay, Shaykh, you said "half." This situation does not fit that category, meaning it is not said to be accidental and that he owes half the blood money?
The Shaykh : No, after study, because this is a specific case.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : What is his name?
The questioner : Ziyad al-At'ut.
The Shaykh : Al-'As'as?
The questioner : Al-At'ut.
The Shaykh : Al-At'ut.
The questioner : He says that his brother ran over a disbeliever. Does he have to fast?
