The employee must adhere to the employer's conditions for granting treatment, in accordance with the saying, "Muslims are bound by their conditions." If the employer stipulates a medical examination for the disbursement of treatment, then it is not permissible to take it without one. However, if the matter is left to the discretion of the physician and the patient's need, then there is no objection to disbursing it without an examination, with the approval of the responsible employee.
