Is blood money mandatory for the driver if the passenger dies in a car accident and the driver survives, and is this considered accidental killing or non-accidental killing? What is the ruling on killing if the driver exceeds the speed limit and causes a fatal accident; is it accidental killing or intentional?
If a person does not observe speed limits and causes a fatal traffic accident, he is considered sinful, and the killing is classified as involuntary manslaughter, because the driver did not intend to commit the crime against a person. As for intentional homicide, it is when a person intends to kill another with something that usually kills, such as a sword, a knife, or a rifle, or intentionally runs him over with a car, and so on.
