The answer

If you cause an accident by doing what is impermissible or by neglecting what is obligatory, and you were able to take precautions, then the blood money (diyya) and expiation (kaffara) are incumbent upon you. However, if there was no transgression or negligence on your part, and you were unable to avoid the accident, then nothing is incumbent upon you.
