Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A girl fell ill with acute anemia. He says: A girl was suffering from acute anemia. The doctors advised her parents to give her a quantity of blood. Then a woman came and advised them to give her some herbs and natural medicines. But the girl passed away from anemia. His question is: Is there anything required of the girl's parents and the woman who advised them?

Answer:
There is no doubt that they were negligent in that they obeyed the woman who has no expertise, and who contradicted the doctors who are the people of expertise and treatment. She erred in this, but she was exercising independent legal reasoning, wanting the best for the girl and her survival, but she erred in this. It appears to me that there is no expiation required of her. Yes.
