The ruling on demanding compensation for the doctors' role in the death of one's mother

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This question is from a man who says: My mother (may Allah have mercy on her) passed away in one of the government hospitals, and it has recently become clear to me that the doctors had a hand in, or were a cause of, her death. What should I do? And is there any obligation on us for not demanding compensation or filing a complaint, knowing that this causes me great anxiety?

Answer:
This is your right. Demanding compensation from them for their role in your mother's death is your right. If you demand it and you have evidence for it, you have the right to make the claim. And if you forgive them and leave it to Allah the Exalted,
but whoever pardons and makes reconciliation - his reward is [due] from Allahفَمَنْ عَفَا وَأَصْلَحَ فَأَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ
[Ash-Shuraa 42:40]
. Yes.
