The ruling on the death of an infant during nighttime breastfeeding

Question:
This questioner says: I breastfed my child at night, and when I woke up for the Fajr prayer, I found that he had died. I have a doubt that perhaps his airway became blocked during breastfeeding while I was sleeping, along with other doubts. I know that I had placed him on his left side and myself on the right side. So, is there anything required of me in this matter?

Answer:
If there was a cause from you for the child's death, then you owe the expiation for accidental killing, which is fasting two consecutive months. This would be if you slept on him and blocked his breath, or covered him with a thick blanket, meaning you blocked his breath, or if you put the breast in his mouth and slept with the breast in his mouth, and he choked and died. In that case, the expiation is required of you. However, if you do not know of any cause from these, then it is the divine decree and destiny of Allah, and nothing is required of you.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
