What is the ruling regarding a dentist who performed root canal treatment for a female patient's molar but did not complete the permanent filling for her, and then was unable to reach her later, while fearing her health condition would deteriorate because of this? What would be the ruling if the patient died due to this negligence?
The questioner erred by not completing the treatment and placing the permanent filling, and he must repent and seek forgiveness. As for the girl, he is not obligated to do anything towards her unless he knows her condition and what her situation has settled upon, for the default is freedom from liability.
