The fundamental principle is the acquittal of liabilities from rights until that which necessitates the establishment of a right becomes clear. Therefore, doubt concerning the causation of a patient's death does not entail any consequence, nor does it necessitate expiation or blood money. Funds are sacrosanct except with certainty. A physician is responsible for his error in specific circumstances. If a trustworthy scholar issues a fatwa to you stating no liability, then you are permitted to act upon his fatwa.
