Question:
Similar to this, he says: If the operation is not an emergency and can be postponed until after Ramadan, is it forbidden for the doctor to perform it during the daytime of Ramadan for the patient?
Answer:
This is a patient, but if performing the operation can be postponed until after Ramadan, as we mentioned in the answer prior to this, the best and most cautious course for him is to postpone it until after Ramadan. However, if the patient demands that it be performed, the doctor performs it in accordance with the patient's wish, and there is nothing required of the doctor in that regard. But he must advise him, show him, and inform him that performing it in Ramadan is not necessary, and he should make this clear to him.
