How can the directly injured party be identified in a car accident where neither party stopped, despite one of them admitting fault, and what is the ruling on accepting monetary compensation from the insurance company instead of the at-fault person?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
"The liability can only be determined by the competent traffic authority. If the wrongdoer admits their mistake, then compensation may be taken, because matters are built upon the predominance of conjecture when certainty is unattainable. Therefore, there is no harm in benefiting from the amount paid by the company on behalf of the wrongdoer."
