Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to practice work in clinics without a license, due to the recognized religious interest in this matter, and due to the generality of Allah's Almighty saying: "O you who have believed, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you," and His saying: "O you who have believed, fulfill [all] contracts." As for the money earned from working in this clinic, it is not unlawful.
