Deception in Purchasing Medical Treatment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of Fatwa No. ( 18385 )
Q1: I am in a difficult situation with my brothers and my mother. When undergoing medical examinations and purchasing medication, they want to put the medical prescription in my mother’s name. She has been included in the social security file along with me and my father, and medical and medication reimbursements are processed in her name, considering that I am the only one, and that my parents, after being included in our file, are merely enjoying this privilege. Is it permissible for my brothers to put the medical prescription in our mother’s name or in my name to obtain reimbursements for medical and pharmaceutical expenses?
A1: It is obligatory to follow the system established by the state for the aforementioned treatment, and it is not permissible to engage in deception or lying in this matter. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
