Is it permissible for a doctor working in a government center to treat some poor people on the basis that they are security personnel, given that security personnel receive treatment for free?

The questioner : In the question, I am a doctor working in a clinic. There are people who do not pay, and sometimes poor people come, or employees whose salaries are not enough for them. So we treat them, and they are referred by other doctors, and they are not military personnel. What is the ruling in Islam? Is it permissible to treat them?

The Shaykh : And they are not military personnel?

The questioner : Yes, they are not military personnel...

The Shaykh : Who is responsible for this department? If he has permitted it, then it is his responsibility. If he has not permitted it, then it is not permissible.

The questioner : He does not permit it.

The Shaykh : If he does not permit it, it is not permissible.

The questioner : Okay, there are poor people...

The Shaykh : Okay, can you give them a letter so that the women can arrange their affairs?
