What's The Islamic Perspective On Trolley Problem?
Islam holds a person accountable as per his knowledge and resources and as per his circumstances under which a particular decision is made. In case of genuine conflict between two moral values, a person will have no blame if he made an honest decision to the best of his knowledge and resources. For example, when a person has to lie to a criminal chasing an innocent person in order to divert his chase in a wrong direction, in such a situation, this lie would not make a person accountable.
