Diyat On An Unknown Event – Please Guide For Some Person
Diyat is given when the case is settled by the court. It is easy to investigate nowadays what happened on a date, in that place. The police would have had the record if anything serious happened. If nothing is known, it means nothing serious happened. In that case one may ask for forgiveness from God.
Islam does not require imprisonment. Instead, the payment of Diyat is necessary. If the injured person or their relatives (in case of death) choose to forgive the Diyat, then there is no further obligation, and there is no need for concern. If the injured person cannot be located, the individual may let go of the matter, as it was not intentional.
