What is the ruling of Islamic law regarding the killing of a girl who was hit at night by the questioner's car while she was crossing an unlit highway wearing black clothes, despite the presence of a pedestrian bridge, and what are the expiation (kaffarah) and blood money (diyah) resulting from that?
If the speed limit on the street was observed, and the driver could not avoid the accident, then there is no sin upon him, nor is there Diyyah (blood money) or Kaffarah (expiation), because it is not attributed to negligence, and "that which cannot be avoided entails no liability."
