What the document contains

What's covered

The article covers the classification of medical responsibilities, contract liabilities (ḍamān 'aqd), destruction liabilities (ḍamān iṭlāf), and the specific roles of manufacturers, surgeons, and hospitals in robot-assisted surgery according to Islamic jurisprudence.

What's missing

It does not provide binding statutory legislation or specific hospital operational rules, focusing instead on theoretical and comparative fiqh analysis.

Key takeaways
  • Robot-assisted surgery introduces complex legal and ethical questions regarding liability under Islamic law when harm occurs.
  • Medical responsibility in fiqh is categorized across ethical, criminal, and contractual dimensions utilizing concepts such as ḍamān, taʿzīr, and qiṣāṣ.
  • Liability is distributed among multiple actors including manufacturing companies, surgeons, medical teams, hospitals, and maintenance engineers.
  • The paper advocates for a strict joint and several liability model combined with insurance to ensure fair compensation and patient safety in compliance with Maqasid al-Shariah.
