Is she sinful or blameworthy for her mother's death after consuming herbs that her mother warned her not to cook, causing her death?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the reality is as you mentioned, then you are sinful and disobedient to your mother, and you bear a sin because you know that she is harmed by your advice and prohibitions. This act of yours is considered semi-intentional killing, and you are liable for blood money (diyya) and expiation (kaffara): freeing a believing slave. If you cannot find one, then fast for two consecutive months, in addition to repenting to Allah.
