Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If a woman sleeps in bed with her infant and then wakes up to find him dead, and she fears that she rolled over on him and he died because of her, does she owe an expiation for that?

Answer:
No. Since it is not established that she rolled over on him, and it is not established that he died because of her, as long as it is not established, she owes nothing. Yes.
