What is the ruling on money earned from translating articles about "medical tourism," and is it permissible to continue translating articles related to surgery and hospitals?
Firstly: The translation of medical materials is permissible and brings great benefit to people. However, one must avoid translating anything related to altering creation or involving indecency.
Secondly: There is no sin in translating "medical tourism." If the company deals directly with insurance companies, then the work is forbidden. However, if it acts as an intermediary between those seeking treatment and their intermediaries, such as governments, workplaces, and insurance companies, then there is no harm in it. What you translated before knowing the ruling is not sinful, and its earnings can be utilized. If the company's work involves indicating treatment prices and suitable locations, then there is no harm in it, provided that it does not involve assisting insurance companies or other forbidden activities.
