If he hits a car and the insurance pays some of the costs to the other party, does he have to pay the rest?

 

I live in Australia, where if someone owns a car, they would have to take a Compulsory Third Party Insurance, which only covers any damage to the person with whom the accident happened... Now, with the scholars over here, they have no doubt that since it is compulsory on a car, its ok to take this insurance. But in regards to the Property damage, it is still unclear... i.e. Suppose 'xyz' hit a car and there was some damage to the other car and the person got unjuries.. This CTP would cover the unjuries to the person, but not on the damages to the other person's car... So, this person 'xyz' has to pay for the expenses of fixing the other party's car from his pocket.. You can imagine the costs this 'xyz' has to bear if he hits a Rolls Royce, Mercedes or Ferrari, though he himself was driving a cheap car... Can you suggest on this...

Praise be to Allaah.

Firstly: 

Commercial insurance in all forms is haraam, but if a person
is compelled to take out third-party insurance, then there is nothing wrong
with that and the sin is on the one who compelled him to do that. Please see
question number 45918,
8889 and
102969. 

Secondly: 

If there is a collision between two cars, then the one who is
at fault must compensate for loss of life or limb or property that he
caused. So he must pay diyah for lost lives or injuries, and he must also
repair whatever has been damaged on the car, in addition to the difference
in price between the sound car and the one that has been repaired. This is
something that is neglected by many people. 

If the insurance company pays for some of the above, then he
must pay for the rest, no matter how much it is, and his duty cannot be
discharged unless he does that, unless the injured party lets him off. 

Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: The
issue is not just that of repair, rather it is repair plus the devaluation
of the car as the result of the collision. This is a matter which many
people perhaps do not pay attention to. But everyone knows the difference
between the value of a car that has been in a crash, even if it has been
repaired, and its value if it has not been in a crash. End quote from
Fataawa Noor ‘ala al-Darb. 

And Allaah knows best.

Read quran its is the Word of Allah the sigh of guidance

Reading quran and exploring it is the true duty of a Muslim because it contains Allah’s message to all people and the quran teaching tells the people that how to act correctly. By learning quran you will find that it guides us to a correct way of life in this world. We as a practicing Muslim should teach our kids quran and let the kids learn quran recitation and do quran memorization and we also do quran memorization by heart and there is an other importing thing that learn quran with tajweed because the tajweed rules are very important regarding the pronunciation and way or read the holy quran and further more enhancing the quranic studies by learning quran tafseer and reading quran the translation with it listening to quran online with the quran recitation don by some of the top reciter also. It is the Book of Allah also talks about life after death. It tells us that Allah has prepared Paradise for good people and Hell for bad people. Wile reading Quran we see that it encourages the worship of only one God Who creates and provides for them. The Book forbids people from evil and condemns those who do wrong. It contains stories of the past Prophets and the examples of bad and good people. Find online quran courses
