If a daughter dies because of her father, does he owe an expiation?

The questioner:
He says: My father, my mother, my older brother, and my younger sister, who was five days old, were inside a car. They stopped behind the river, and this was in Ramadan at nine in the morning. After that, they wanted to cross to get past the stream, but while crossing, the car broke down, and my younger sister died inside the car. Is there any expiation required of the father or the mother?

The Shaykh:
In any case, if he crossed the river while it was flowing, that is dangerous; it is not permissible for him to cross. It is not permissible for him to cross. He would be the cause of this girl’s death, and the expiation would be fasting two consecutive months. If the relatives of the deceased demand it, they have the right to do so. And if they forgive it, there is no harm. Yes.
