Accident with a bicycle

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Two months back, there was an accident from my car. I was turning my car from my street and suddenly the bike was hit by my car. The bike’s speed was fast and my car was turning slowly. There was one little child and a man on that bike. The girl got bruised and the man fell on his chest. I took them to the hospital’s emergency centre. Got their treatments and all tests done. The doctor showed me the X ray report that all was fine. I came back home and called them how were they feeling. They were fine. But two days back the guy’s family called me that he has become handicapped now and operations need to be done. They asked me for money. I told them I didn’t have enough money. So they started threatening and blackmailing me that they would file a case against me if I don’t pay them money for his operation. They use fowl languages via text messages. Am really depressed. Please guide me what to do. Do I owe them money? Have I committed a sin?

Bismillaah

A: We feel that you refer the matter to your lawyer and ask him for some legal advice and help.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
