The ruling on a pharmacist informing a customer about a cheaper medication
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah guide you, O Shaykh. A questioner says: I work as a pharmacist. If a customer comes to me and wants a specific medication, am I obligated to inform him that there is a similar medication that is cheaper?
Answer:
Give him what he requested if he has a report from the doctor; give it to him. But if he does not have a report from a doctor, do not give it to him, for it may harm him and he does not know.
