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. (Part No. 21; Page No. 351
