A child dying after being cauterized


295

Q: I am a woman whose work is to cauterize the wounds of boys. One day, I was asked to cauterize a very sick boy who died immediately after cauterizing. Now, am I to blame for this act? Should I offer a Kaffarah (expiation) for the boy's death? It should be noted that the boy was on his deathbed before I cauterized him. (Part No. 21; Page No. 424) May Allah protect you.


A: If the reality is as you have mentioned, that you cauterized the boy similarly as you do with any other boy, you will not be sinful.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions!
