Covering the baby after breastfeeding it and the child dying


A: If the concerned baby died because his mother put a blanket over his face, it is Wajib on her to make Kaffarah for this. Such a Kaffarah is to free a believing slave or, if she is unable to do so, she should fast for two successive months, i.e. sixty days. However, if the lady in question did not put the blanket on the baby's face; no Kaffarah is Wajib on her because she did not cause his death. (Part No. 21; Page No. 376) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
