The original principle is the innocence of the conscience
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: A woman fell asleep with her daughter beside her, and upon waking she found her dead. What is required of her?
Answer: If she is not certain that she died because of her, then she owes nothing; because the original principle is that the conscience is innocent of obligations, and it is not permissible to burden it except with proof that is free from doubt. However, if she is certain that she died because of her, then she owes the blood money and expiation; because this killing is considered accidental.
The obligatory expiation for that is to free a believing slave, and whoever does not find one must fast two consecutive months. As for feeding, it has no place in the expiation for killing.
