Giving a girl a loaded rifle and the girl shooting and killing a little girl


A: If the girl that you gave the shotgun to had reached the age of puberty at the time when she took the shot, being fifteen years of age, menstruating, or having pubic hair she has to make a Kaffarah (expiation) that is freeing a believing slave. If she can not find slaves, she has to fast for two successive months. However, if she did not reach the age of puberty, it is you who has to offer the Kaffarah; because you were negligent in leaving the shotgun loaded with a bullet with a child. As regards the Diyah (blood money), it is better to resort to the court if you are demanding a Diyah.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
