Running over a woman who suddenly appeared before him
Q: Once I was riding my car to the Masjid (mosque) to offer `Isha' (Night) Prayer. The speed of the car did not exceed 35 km/hour. There was a woman on the other side of the road doing sports. Suddenly, she decided to cross the road to the other side without watching out for cars. I was surprised to see her before my car because I thought that she was on the other side of the road. So, I hit her with the car despite my attempts to avoid her and she died immediately. There was no passage way for the walkers in this spot. When the police came and searched for the causes of the accident, they found that the mistake was made by the woman and not the driver. After deep investigation, they set me free. I am a Muslim man, I am married and have six children and I work in France. The woman who had the accident was a French Christian woman. It is known that all the French people benefit from the insurance system i.e., (Part No. 21; Page No. 415) anyone who has an accident, will be compensated for all the losses resulting from this accident. In cases of death by any reason, the insurance company gives money to the family of the victim. My question is: Is it due on me to fast for two consecutive months and pay the Diyah (blood money) to the family of the woman? What is the legal ruling on this case? Could you kindly advise? May Allah reward you with the best! I can not enjoy my life since this accident has taken place.Could you answer me soon please? May Allah reward you!
A: If the reality is as you have mentioned, there will be no blame on you because she was the cause of this accident.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
