If Two or More Shared in the Responsibility For an Accidental Death

Question :

A traffic accident occurred involving two cars. In one car, there were two persons, one of whom died. According to the report of the Police and Traffic Dept., the owner of the first car was 30% to blame and the owner of the other car was 70% to blame. So regarding the atonement, should the owner of the first car fast for two consecutive months, or in accordance with the percentage of blame attached to him, as is the case with the Diyah?

Answer:

If two or more persons share in the responsibility for an accidental death, then each of them must perform the atonement independently. This is because atonement is not divided up, according to what the scholars have said.
