If the victim dies from their injuries after an accident, expiation is required from the perpetrator if the error was theirs, and blood money (diyya) is incumbent upon the 'aqila (the male relatives on the father's side). The report of trustworthy doctors is considered valid in proving that the death was due to the accident. These matters are referred to the judiciary.
