Q: I am working as a nurse in a clinic. One day a certain patient came and had been diagnosed with Malaria. The same day he was injected with diclofenac injection intramuscular for reducing fever and other antimalaria intravenous injection also.
The problem is that the place where we injected that diclofenac, that area swelled and the patient showed me after 3 days. On the 4th day he came back with a bad condition. When we tried to investigate other problems, we found he had hypoglycemia (low sugar) and anemia (low blood) but we decided to transfer him to the biggest hospital. Finally he died there.
My question is: what I should do? I am confused since I don't know whether he died because of that abscess or those other conditions he had. My aim is to pay blood money or fast as it is mentioned in the Holly Qur'an if you kill by mistake.
A: Blood money is not compulsory.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
