Dear respected Shaykh, assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. My relative ran over a boy and he died as result of the accident. The company which had insured the car paid the whole amount for the required blood money. The insurance was commercial insurance and it is compulsory to have it. My relative does not have the means to pay the blood money on his own. However, he can get this amount from the family members or relatives, or at least he can borrow from them. Is what he did permissible at all? In terms of expiation; does he fast for two consecutive months starting from now, or can he delay that because Ramadan and ‘Eid will occur within two months? What do you advice him in terms of fasting? كفارة القتل الخطأ
