What are the correct intentions for studying medicine, and will those who study it be rewarded?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
We advise you to intend, by your study of medicine, to fulfill a communal obligation (fard kifayah) that is necessary for the needs of the Muslim community. We hope that your medical work, through assisting Muslims, alleviating their distress, benefiting them, and striving to meet their needs, will enable you to attain abundant reward.
