Denying what is wrong in healthcare workplaces

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Whether some doctors, female doctors, or others from the household see evils in the house and do not forbid them, or do not forbid any of them on the grounds that it is not part of their job, or that some of the evils do not enter their domain on the grounds of the delegation or the medicine.

Answer:
Every Muslim is responsible for denying what is wrong. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Whoever sees this…” This is general for every Muslim.
He who amongst you sees something abominable should modify it with the help of his handمن رأى منكم منكرا فليغيره بيده
Sahih Muslim 49a
This refers to the one who has authority.
If he cannotفإن لم يستطع
That is, if he does not have the authority to remove the wrong with his hand,
With his tongueفبلسانه
he clarifies, explains, reminds, and admonishes with knowledge. He clarifies with his tongue and forbids it with his tongue. If he cannot do so with his tongue, he hates the wrong and denies it with his heart and stays away from it and its people. So every Muslim must deny what is wrong according to his ability and capacity. Yes, and no one should say, “I did not know.” Yes.
