Treatment with resuscitation devices

(by definition and by default)

Abstract

The research aims to find out the Sharia ruling for removing life support devices in light of the texts of the Qur’an and Sunnah and the general rules of Sharia law and its general principles, with this being rooted in externalizing the Sharia ruling on its counterparts from what scholars have stipulated.The researcher followed the inductive approach, with an analysis of some quotes if necessary. The researcher concluded that the general rules of Sharia law when two harms are combined are that the lesser of them is committed, and in the meaning of that is assessing the best of the best, and that it is not permissible to remove life support from someone who is hoped to be cured because he has no money. The hope of life must be given priority over the hopeless in benefiting from life support devices or other medications. spending due to life support devices is permissible to remove them from those who are in desperate need of life, because this involves spending money in vain. It would be better for those who achieve life or hope for it to benefit from it, and that the obligation of consolation with medicine and other things does not prevent taking the fee from whoever is able, provided that there is no unfairness, as was decided. The researcher believes that knowing the hope of life from the hopelessness of life is due to the people of knowledge and expertise, and they are medical professionals alone. As it has been established in jurisprudence: every knowledge is asked about by its people.
