Q. Is it permissible to perform a surgery on a person that I know hates Islam? I have helped this patient before and he makes comments that really angers me. Do I perform my tasks for Allah subha na who wataala or do i send him elsewhere?….. (notausuallymorallyconfusedsurgeon)

A. If the surgery would show the patient the greatness of Islam, and the good nature of the physician and the physicians reliance upon Allah (Subhanahu Wata’Ala) whilst fulfilling the obligations of humanity, then such a surgery would be permissible.

However, if a person knows in advance or through experience, or the naive patient made it clear to you that he very much hates Islam and Muslims. Or the patient made it clear to you that they would continue to use their passions against Islam and Muslims and is merely using your (muslim) services to hurt Islam, than it would be advisable for you to hand the patient to a surgeon of similar faith to that of the patient.

No person should be forced to deal with a racist, bigot or a hate monger. It is a Muslims duty to help clarify matters. It is your duty to try repeatedly in addressing your patients concerns in an healthy rational manner so as to create an amiable solution.

Islam advocates positivity.

Allah Certainly Knows Best.
