Accepted Answer

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

Since your friend refused to take compensation for the damage, you are acquitted from sin, and you are not required to do anything if she is of sound mind.

Allah knows best.
