Exactly.
The point here is, not about deciding what is right and wrong as the way we see it, rather understanding the perspective of the character. An act that may not be justified and looks illogical for us, can be 'justified' by the character's view point. Before her father's death, Sadaf was this chirpy, bubbly girl, who seems slightly immature at certain instances and was sheltered within a wonderful family. Just one incident - bang! she find herself at a such a dreadful juncture in her life. Her father was the sole bread-winner of the family, she is unemployed, she has a young sibling and a grieving mother to look after with no financial stability - so, she needed to grow up and shoulder her responsibilities amidst her own loss.
If all that was not enough for her to grapple with, she learned that her brother is critically ill, his treatment needs a large amount of money which needed to be arranged as soon as possible AND her father has listed their house, he may have considered all other possible options and lack of any was what have costed her father's life. They may not have any collaterals for loans, she has no job and no financial independence - she is a total novice in the 'money' department. The only thing she knows, she is not willing to give up her brother's life, not after the loss of her father. So, she turned up in front the only person she knew who has access to that much of quick cash - her desperation to find money any way possible, by doing anything cannot be judged. And if anything, the scene was perfectly enacted and executed - she was putting up a brave facade, offering whatever Bilal wanted, but you could see that she was terrified, breaking apart within, but she was pulling herself together with the sole purpose of saving her brother!
