The car rolled killing some of the passengers without the driver making any mistake
Q: While traveling from my town
Bashut
of
Shimran
to
Bishah
accompanying my sons, daughter, and my daughter's children, we had an accident but it was not my fault. I was the driver and did not exceed the speed of 80 km/h. The accident resulted in some injuries and the death of my daughter's daughter. It should be noted that we had taken her to the hospital while she was still alive. I would like to know from your Eminence if I have to offer a Kaffarah.

A:
If the reality is as mentioned, you have to offer a
Kaffarah and pay Diyah (blood money). The Kaffarah is freeing a Muslim slave. If you do not find slaves, you have to fast two successive months.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
