If the accident occurred due to the driver's negligence, he is liable for the car and bears the cost of repair alone. If the adult heirs wish to donate towards bearing the cost of repair, there is no harm, but they are not permitted to donate from the minor's money. However, if the accident occurred without negligence on the part of the driver, he is not liable, and the cost of repair will be borne by the property of all heirs, both adults and minors, because a guardian is a trustee who is not liable for what perishes in his possession without negligence.
