The sin of a mother for neglecting her child until he died

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the female questioner says: If a mother neglects her child in care and attention and the child dies, does she sin?

Answer:
Unfortunately, this is a common reality now due to women going out to work and trade and other things, and neglecting the child and leaving him with nannies or in daycare centers. She does not know her child or what is happening to him; perhaps he goes hungry, perhaps he dies as well. So she is sinful because he is under her care and she neglected him, so she sins by that. Yes.
