How can the lady who slandered an innocent girl and caused her humiliation and degradation atone for her deed, while she is bedridden and unable to clear the girl's name?

The woman committed a grave error by slandering the girl. She must endeavor to clear the girl's name herself, or appoint someone to act on her behalf, or write to them, or contact them by phone to inform them of the truth. She must also seek forgiveness for her sin and ask the wronged girl to forgive her for the harm she inflicted. If she is unable to do so, she must strive in repentance and multiply good deeds. Those connected to the wronged girl should encourage her to pardon and forgive.
