What is the ruling on the financial remuneration offered by companies to the pharmacist in exchange for selling their products, whether they are prescription-only or recommended by the pharmacist after ascertaining their suitability for the patient? And what is the ruling on promoting a medication whose selection is based on financial considerations or its popularity?

If the pharmacist owns the pharmacy, there is no objection to allowing the entry and promotion of the medicine for the company, provided that there is no fraud or deception. There is no objection to taking financial compensation from the promoting company; if the doctor has prescribed the medicine for the patient, or if the medicine is the most suitable for their condition, then there is no harm in selling it and taking compensation for its promotion. However, if the matter involves deception, such as the medicine being unsuitable for the patient, then it is not permissible to recommend it or take compensation. As for the pharmacist who does not own the pharmacy, they are not to do anything in it except what its owner approves, nor take compensation except with their consent.
