Does the father sin if his daughter eats from what is forbidden, knowing that she lives with her Christian mother far away from the father?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Do I sin if my daughter eats or drinks from what is forbidden, knowing that she is from a divorced Christian wife, and she lives in one country while I live in another?

Answer:
Your daughter is under your responsibility; she is under your responsibility. So you must protect her from eating or drinking what is forbidden. Take her with you and do not leave her with the disbeliever. As for her, if she drinks or eats, she is not accountable; she is not accountable, and she does not sin because she has not reached the age of accountability. But you are the one who sins because you neglected her and left her.
