Are the acts of worship of a female doctor acceptable, who was negligent in the treatment of a patient who later died, and what is her ruling after her sincere repentance and her attempt to fast for two consecutive months and search for the patient's heirs to pay the blood money, knowing that the patient had no known relatives?
