Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If a person causes the death of one of the sheep, is he required to pay a replacement for it? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Yes, if he killed it, he is required to pay its value; this is the replacement. He is required to pay compensation for his injustice and aggression. Likewise, if he was mistaken, if he erred, and did not do it intentionally, he is still required to pay; because for destruction, intention is not a condition. Rather, he is liable for it even if it was by mistake. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
