She gave her baby daughter a bottle and went to sleep, and the baby died

Question: 10019

A mother gave her baby girl a bottle and went to sleep. When she woke up she found the child dead.

Answer

Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah.

I asked Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) about this and he replied as follows:

If she does not remember pushing the bottle into the baby’s mouth, then she is not to blame. And Allaah knows best.
