The answer

Refer this matter to medical professionals. If they determine that she died as a result of the burning, then she is considered to have committed suicide. If she repented before death, Allah accepts her repentance. If she did not repent, then she died having committed one of the major sins. It is hoped that your prayers for her and ongoing charity on her behalf will lighten her burden, for she is under the will of Allah Almighty.
