Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
What doctors do in agreement with pharmacies by way of deception, fraud, and unlawful acquisition of money is forbidden. It is not permissible to purchase them if it is known that they were obtained through illicit means, due to Allah's saying: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression."
