Q: Allah has decreed for me to have been involved in a car accident. One of my colleagues was riding with me while we were heading to Al-Madinah as we work in Yanbu`. A huge truck suddenly came into our lane and struck us. This accident resulted in the death of my colleague (may Allah be merciful to him) and I suffered broken bones and bruises. All praise be to Allah, Allah has allowed me to recover and now my question is: Is it obligatory for me to make Kaffarah (expiation) for the death of my colleague, may Allah be merciful with him? It should be mentioned that the accident report prepared by engineers and competent people in authority in Al-Madinah completely absolved me from any responsibility. The report stated that I was not responsible and that the truck driver was 100% at fault. Please give me a Fatwa (legal opinion issued by a qualified Muslim scholar) in this regard. May Allah preserve you and keep you safe to serve Islam.
