Treatment and cure - A study of rulings and foundations

Abstract

The topic of treatment is one of the important topics nowadays, as many people need it, and many have involved themselves in treating people without knowing the principles of treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify the reality of treatment and its legal rulings. The research revolves around the legitimacy of treatment and the encouragement of it, the ruling on treatment with forbidden things, whether food, drink, or external use, and how the doctor deals with the patient as he is the repository of his secret. During the period of treatment and examination, doctors are informed of the patients’ private secrets, which are considered part of their privacy and private affairs.

          Although the jurists did not devote a special chapter to this issue in their practical matters, it has an impact on people’s daily lives. Since jurisprudence is comprehensive in addressing and regulating everything related to human life, and illnesses are among the trials with which God Almighty tests His servants, affecting their worship, dealings, and lives with their families and society, the sick person needs to know the legal rulings related to treating illnesses.
