Question:
I had a daughter who was about six months old. One day her father came with a bottle of ghee that a friend had given him as a gift. He gave the ghee to the child with some milk, thinking that it would strengthen her. After the child drank the ghee and milk, she began to pass blood. After several days, the child died. Is there a sin or expiation on me or my husband? Knowing that he intended nothing but good and did not intend to harm her? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
There is no expiation on you, but you did not distinguish. Her father only wanted good for her and exerted effort for her benefit, but this is divine decree and destiny, and there is nothing on him, praise be to Allah. May Allah reward you with good and do you good.
