The answer

It is not permissible for a doctor to obligate a patient to undergo unnecessary medical examinations for financial gain, nor to convince them of their necessity. Obeying an employer in this regard constitutes cooperation in sin and illicitly consuming people's wealth, based on the Almighty's saying: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty." The doctor's lack of benefit does not justify lying to patients and deceiving them.
