Treating a patient from his own money without his knowledge
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I have a relative who was admitted to the hospital because he was struck by a severe illness. The questioner says: We admitted him to the hospital, O Shaykh Salih, and we began treating him from his money without his knowledge. Is that permissible for us?
Answer:
If he is in dire necessity for treatment and there is danger in leaving him untreated, and you treated him from his money, then there is nothing wrong with that, because this is an act of wishing him well and making things right, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
