Is this income <em>haram<\/em> or <em>halal<\/em>? <\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>It  is not morally right for the doctors to accept gifts from such  companies because their decision about a prescription can be influenced  by this. Even if a doctor prescribes the medicine manufactured by that  company when there is no other required medicine is available the  intentions of the doctors become suspect and he can be held answerable  by God. A God fearing doctor should never engage in this. When a doctor  prescribes a medicine for a patient while he has two options before him  and he prescribes the one that is expensive but no distinctive benefit  he clearly violates all ethical and moral principles. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-02-27<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6653\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nowadays doctors prescribe medicine of that company that pays them.
