The Ruling on Treatment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q 6: What is the ruling on treatment in general? Is it obligatory? If it is not obligatory, does the doctor commit any sin if he refuses to perform the operation for a personal reason, whether there is another doctor available or not?
A 6: Treatment is prescribed, and it is obligatory for the employed doctor who has the ability to treat people to do his utmost to treat them, hoping for their cure or the alleviation of their pain. The general texts in the Shari'ah indicate this, as they call for cooperation, helping those in need, and relieving the distress of the distressed. In addition, in his professional work, the doctor must perform his duty to the best of his ability, which includes treating the patients who turn to him. Therefore, it is not permissible for him to turn them away or to be lax in treating them.
