Question:
There is a woman who went to the open land, and her sons were with her. Three of the sons died, drowning in the flood. She had advised them and said, "Do not go to the water." The oldest was fifteen years old, and the youngest was nine years old. Is there an expiation on her for that?
Answer:
No, there is no expiation on her for that, as long as they were the ones who went, and they were of discerning age and knew the danger of the water. Since they were the ones who went, she owes nothing. Yes.
