Is the commission that the husband receives for referring care cases to another hospital unlawful (haram), and is repentance and getting rid of the amount already spent sufficient?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is not permissible for a husband to work for any entity other than the hospital where he is employed during working hours, except with the administration's permission. Otherwise, he commits a sin, and the commission he earns in such a case is a matter of dispute. Furthermore, his directing patients to another place to obtain a commission, while there are vacant beds in the hospital where he works, constitutes clear harm to the hospital and a breach of work trust. However, if he does so due to a lack of vacant beds and it does not affect his work, he is permitted to take the commission. He must review previous commissions; whatever rightfully belongs to the hospital, he must return it or seek absolution from the administration.
