Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. What is the ruling on one who suspects that she caused the death of her child?
Answer:
Mere suspicion is not sufficient. Nothing is based on suspicion. If she slept on him and suffocated him, or left the breast in his mouth and fell asleep, then she is the cause. This would be accidental killing. She owes an expiation. The expiation is freeing a slave, and if she cannot find one, fasting two consecutive months. Yes.
