What is required of a woman whose daughter died without any negligence on her part?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: My mother has a two-year-old daughter who drowned and passed away. My mother asks: Is there anything required of me in this matter? Especially since she closed the door, and the child was outside the house, while the mother assumed the child was inside. After a while, the mother discovered that her daughter was outside the house, and when she went to look for her, she found that she had passed away by drowning. If there is something required of her in this matter, what is it? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
If she caused her drowning by leaving her near an open place, an open tank, or an open pool of water, and there was no one with her, then she is liable for it... her blood money.
As for if the place was far away and not near her, but it happened that she fell into it and went to it, then there is nothing upon her; she is not liable for compensation in this case. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
