The employed doctor accepting a gift from patients
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In his second question, he says: It does not benefit them that they decide to accept a gift from the sale, after Allah willed, I returned to my father’s advice?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible. A salaried doctor is not allowed to take anything from the patient, because he works for a salary, so he takes only his salary. However, if he is a doctor working on his own account, treating patients and taking payment from them, there is no harm. If he treats patients on behalf of the hospital or the government and receives a salary, it is not permissible for him to take anything from the patients, because this is considered a bribe.
