Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I am a doctor and I perform operations for some patients. Some of them come to me with a gift and swear that I will accept it. Is this one of the gifts for workers?
Answer:
If you are an employee in a hospital and you have a salary, then this is one of the gifts for workers, and there is no doubt that it is a bribe. But if you treat patients on your own account and take fees from people for the treatment, this falls under the fee.
