why is matrix(CC,array) singular but matrix(CDF, array) singular?

I am trying to take the inverse of complex valued matrix where every entry is either +/-1,+/-i,or 0. The matrices are quite large and I am getting substantial rounding errors when I construct the matrix using "matrix(CDF,array)" and then take the inverse, but I still get an output.

When I construct the matrix using the same array but using "matrix(CC,array)" and then take the inverse I get this error: ZeroDivisionError: input matrix must be nonsingular

I am confused because the array when I use "matrix(CC,array)" is exactly the same as the array when I use CDF, however "matrix(CDF,array)" is nonsingular and the function inverse works. Why is this happening and is there another way I can avoid large rounding errors when taking the inverse?

I hope this is enough detail. I'm not really sure how to provide an example of this error occurring since the smallest example of the array I am working with is still quite large (52x52) and I haven't been able to get this error to occur with smaller simpler arrays.

This is the encoded matrix over the Gaussian Integers - I had been using QQbar() to run it since it worked to get the inverse.

matrix is found singular over CC, nonsingular over CDF

The issue I'm now having is that I expected the inverse this matrix to look much different - as well as the determinant to be much larger.
