The Ethics of the Doctor and His Profession

Abstract

(Not to harm anyone in any way، and it is forbidden to inflict harm), this rule and its branches are among the most important Fiqhi rules that medical worker، including doctors، nurses، technicians and others، must be familiar with and understand this rule، which is one of the most important legal rules that govern their work، and then apply and discipline its controls. The intention of those working in the field of medicine must be to calculate the wage and pay the harm، because work is worship، and work is a trust، and perfecting the work is part of the religion. A faithful physician should seek knowledge continually with humility، honesty، compassion، justice، and cooperation with other physicians. The doctor is the one who keeps the disease away from the sick. (The morals of a Muslim doctor، p.5). I touched on general ethics that physicians must observe in their behavior and when practicing their profession، and then I applied the ethics and profession of the doctor in light of this rule and its branches. I concluded that Islamic Sharia is a forerunner in explaining all the morals that should be followed by those working in the field of medicine، and it is the doctor’s duty to preserve human life، treat patients and relieve their pain، all as much as possible.
