What is the ruling of Islamic law regarding the death of a girl who was run over by a truck owned by her father and driven by one of his workers, given that the father knows the driver accidentally caused the girl's death? Is expiation incumbent upon the owner of the truck?
There is no sin or expiation upon the driver if he was not at fault and could not have prevented what happened to the girl. And there is no blood money (diyya) or expiation upon the car owner because he neither caused nor directly committed the accident.
