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. To proceed:

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.
