Paying for medical examinations in advance
Dear Brothers & Sisters,As-Salaamu-Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)
One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:
The head of a hospital is saying to the hospital’s clients: pay five hundred riyals for twenty medical exams in one year, whether for cases of sickness or for regular check-ups throughout the year. If a person uses all twenty exams, he has got what he paid for, but if he does not use them because he did not come for check-ups or did not get sick, he will not get any of his money back.
(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
We put this question to Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen, may Allaah preserve him, and he answered as follows:
Have they agreed on a specific number?
Yes.
Then it is OK.
Question:
Even if he does not come for all twenty appointments, whether because he doesn’t get sick or he is lazy and doesn’t come for check-ups, so the five hundred riyals are gone?
Answer:
That means he has forfeited his right.
Question:
Yes, so if he gives up his right, for example, that’s OK?
Answer:
It is OK so long as what he has given up is a known amount. And Allâh knows best.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah's Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
