Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : , if possible.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : First, I caused an accident and ran over a small child.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : I reported it, of course, and asked; it is written that I owe blood money and an expiation of two months. Of course, the insurance paid the blood money. Is this permissible or not?
The Shaykh : No, it is not permissible.
The questioner : It is not permissible.
The Shaykh : You have to pay from your own pocket.
The questioner : Even if the group, for example, forgave you and accepted the insurance, you still need what comes out of the insurance, for example.
The Shaykh : Dealing with insurance is forbidden.
The questioner : We know that, but the car was...
The Shaykh : May Allah guide you. Do you not know that dealing with insurance is forbidden?
The questioner : O Shaykh, the car is not Jordanian.
The Shaykh : O Shaykh, may Allah guide you. Whether the car is Jordanian or not, dealing with insurance is forbidden, and you owe the blood money.
The questioner : Yes, and the fasting as well.
The Shaykh : And the fasting is necessary.
The questioner : And the fasting is necessary... fasting for two consecutive months.
The Shaykh : Consecutively, yes.
The questioner : In case of travel, is it valid for me to break the fast?
The Shaykh : Break the fast?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : No, it is not permissible to break the fast.
The questioner : Even if you are traveling, for example.
The Shaykh : Why would you be traveling the whole year?
The questioner : No, I mean, for example, today I am traveling or tomorrow I am traveling.
The Shaykh : O my brother, you fast for two consecutive months in your country. Why did you limit it to travel?
The questioner : No, if travel comes on this day, for example, I am traveling tomorrow, I am fasting now.
The Shaykh : May Allah guide you, O brother. Do not make difficult what Allah has made easy for you. Are you traveling most of your days or are you resident?
The questioner : Resident.
The Shaykh : Good, fast as a resident.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : First, I caused an accident and ran over a small child.
