Congestion of Appointments and Postponing Operations Until After Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It seems that the doctor or the questioner holds that even according to the other opinion that they are not performed in Ramadan but only after Ramadan, the hospitals would still be idle from operations, and this would lead to a backlog of appointments after the month of Ramadan. How do you direct us, O Shaykh?
Answer:
As I said, if postponing them leads to a problem, harm, or disruption in the work, then they are performed in Ramadan, and the patient makes up that day. Yes. May Allah reward you.
