Is it permissible for a doctor to pay a sum of money to a paramedic in exchange for referring fracture cases to him to perform operations in his private clinic?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is forbidden for a paramedic to take a commission in exchange for transferring a patient, because he is performing his duty in his work and receives a salary for it. His employer does not authorize such a commission, and actions like these lead to the corruption of the medical profession, transforming it into a trade devoid of trustworthiness and proficiency.
