The ruling on a doctor claiming that a patient's end is near
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q216: The questioner says: If a doctor tells the family of a patient that this patient will die, is this considered claiming knowledge of the unseen?
A216: What makes him know that he will die? No one knows the unseen except Allah. The Exalted said:[Luqman 31:34] .
A216: What makes him know that he will die? No one knows the unseen except Allah. The Exalted said:
Indeed, Allah [alone] has knowledge of the Hour and sends down the rain and knows what is in the wombs. And no soul perceives what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul perceives in what land it will die. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted.
إِنَّ الله عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ وَيُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِي الْأَرْحَامِ وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ مَاذَا تَكْسِبُ غَدًا وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ بِأَيِّ أَرْضٍ تَمُوتُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ
