The ruling on giving a gift to a doctor after he has treated a patient

Question:
The listener Khalil Ibrahim Abdul-Rahman al-Rabi' from al-Ahsa, al-Ayun, sent a question asking about the gift given to a doctor after he has treated a patient: is it prescribed, permissible, or forbidden?

Answer:
If it is after the treatment and after the conclusion, we do not know of anything wrong with it, but leaving it is better. Leaving it is better if he works for the government, doing government work, so that this does not lead him to give him special attention through his own effort to the exclusion of other people. As for if he is a doctor for himself, for the fee he contracted with him for, or for whatever fee he wishes, he gives him what was stipulated for him. But if he is in a government hospital or a government clinic, he is not given anything; he is not given anything. However, if he gave him something after the resolution and after the conclusion, without a promise and without anything, perhaps there is no blame on him. But leaving it is safer, even after that, because he might agree with him on that from within; he might give the patient special care and neglect the other patients. So what I see is that he should not give him anything, even after the completion.

The presenter: And his soul might also desire ....

Answer: To block the door and to block the means, so it is not permissible to give him anything. Rather, he should make du'a for him, make du'a for him for success and assistance by saying: May Allah reward you with good. He asks Allah for him assistance and success. This is good speech. Yes.
