Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: A woman nursed her child after the 'Asr prayer, then placed him on the bed in the kitchen, then went out to the sheep for half an hour or more, then returned and found the boy had died on his face, with a trace of vomit. The question is: Is she required to do anything?
Answer:
No, because she was not negligent. She nursed him and placed him on the bed, and went to attend to her need. He rolled over; this was not her fault, so she was not negligent and she owes nothing. Yes.
