Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Bashir from Yemen says: If the parents neglected to cover the cistern and a child fell in and died, is there anything upon them?

Answer:
Yes, if the cistern was not covered and the child was not kept away from it, they left him in danger, so they are the cause of this child’s death, and the expiation is upon them. Yes.
