The Doctor's Responsibility in Providing Religious Guidance to the Patient

Question:
May Allah reward you. It is known and observed that a patient accepts everything the doctor says to him. So what if the doctor is calling the patient to Allah, especially if the doctor sees the patient committing violations of the Shari'ah? Is there a word for doctors regarding this matter?

Answer:
Yes, the doctor has a responsibility. If he notices a religious issue with the patient, he guides him to the correct path that he knows. If he notices the issue but does not know what to do about it, he must report it. He reports it to the da'wah workers and the da'wah organization. He informs them of this matter, and they are present and see this matter and provide guidance. So, either he guides the patient as best as he can, or he informs the one who has the authority to provide guidance.
