Question:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A brother passed away in a car accident as a passenger. The driver pleaded guilty to dangerous driving.<\/span><\/p>\n

The question is can the family of the brother who passed away claim compensation through the courts?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If the accident occurred because of any mistake on the driver’s end and doesn’t have the intention of killing, then it will be considered as Qatl Khata (Unintentional killing). [1]<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Diyyat (Blood money) will be mandatory upon the driver.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You have the absolute right to claim the blood money, but if his insurance company pays on his behalf then the driver will be exonerated.[2] [3] <\/strong>But, you don’t have the right to claim more than the specified amount. [2]<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Only Allah knows best<\/span><\/p>\n
