What is the ruling on working as a medical trainee in a large university hospital that has a branch bearing a Christian name, and within it a small church dedicated to worship, similar to mosques, knowing that the hospital treats patients of all religions and has no administrative connection to the church?
There is no harm in a Muslim working in a hospital. The mere fact that the hospital carries a Christian name, or that there is a church within the hospital building, does not preclude the permissibility of working there. There is no Shariah impediment for a doctor to work in such a hospital.
