The expiation of the woman whose child died because she slept on him

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman nursed her child, then she fell asleep and leaned on him, and the child died. What is required of this woman? And if she is required to fast two consecutive months, but she is advanced in age and unable to fast, what is required of her after that?

Answer:
Advanced in age and she has a small child? How can she be advanced in age? She is required to fast two consecutive months, and it remains a debt in her obligation until she is able to fast two consecutive months. She is not required to fast immediately if she is unable to do so at the present time; it is deferred until she is able, and then she fasts. The important thing is that it is a debt in her obligation. Yes.
