Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

Is it correct to refuse lying to insurance?

“I am a surgeon and I don't lie to insurance companies about the patient's illness, because I believe as a Muslim I should not lie to anyone. As a result, some patients leave me and find someone else who can lie and operate them. Maulana saheb, how correct is my approach?”Asked by ڈاکٹر طاہ مصطفی, دلی

His answer, in his own words
54:43
maulana, agla sawal hai Dilli se Dr. Tahir Mustafa sahib ka. unhone likha hai: "maulana sahib, IMA surgeon and I don't lie to insurance companies about the patient's illness, because I believe as a Muslim I should not lie to anyone. As a result, some patients leave me and find someone else who can lie and operate them. Maulana sahib, how far is my approach correct? bhai, aap patient ke patient ki surgery ki zimmedari hain, woh insurance karate hain ya nahi karate, us ki zimmedari nahi hain.
55:22
aap yeh mein samjha nahi is sawal ka matlab. yani aap ko jo patient hai, woh insurance karaye ya na karaye, us ke zimmedar aap nahi hain. aap sirf surgery ke zimmedar hain, aur aap khud na karayein ya karayein, us ke zimmedar hain. mein is ko sahi nahi samjhunga ke aap patient ke baray mein ya chahein ke woh insurance kara rahe hain ya na kara rahe hain, ke baray mein aap ke aqeeday ko manen. agar mein samjhaon is sawal ko nahi. Maulana, woh aaj kal kya hota hai ke kuch bhi operation hota hai to us se insurance company se woh reimbursement hota hai, lekin us ke liye doctor se opinion liya jata hai. insurance company leti hain ke, matlab jo jo bimari batayi gayi hai, woh sahi hai ke nahi hai. to us ke basis pe insurance companies paisa deti hain.

to aksar Maulana, woh doctors ko sahi information nahi, thora jhoot bolna parta hai, tab ja ke paise milen. is liye kaha hai, jhoot ki baat kaha hai. aap real reporting par sign kar dijiye. haan, jhoot bolna to har kaam mein galat hai ji, lekin jo real position hai, woh agar patient chahta hai aap ka to aap sign kar dijiye, woh us ka mamla hai. mein ne samjha nahi kya matlab. Maulana, woh yahi keh rahe hain ke agar woh sahi reporting karte hain to patients ko paisa nahi milta insurance company se, to woh chhod ke chale jate hain. to nahi to jhoot to nahi bolna, isi ke mamle ka har mamle mein jhoot nahi bolna hai ji. yeh to jhoot ko to mein nahi kahoon ga ke jaiz hai kisi kisi haal mein.
57:01
to unhone yeh nahi likha ke yeh baat to aap kar rahe hain, sawal mein yeh baat to nahi hai jo aap farma rahe hain. nahi, Maulana, unhone is mein likha hai. kahan? aik second, Maulana, ab band ho gaya.
