چکیده

In the social history of humanity, no issue is more important than preserving the human spirit. Therefore, social systems have established rules and legislation to regulate the work of physicians. Among the issues that require research and development of detailed criminal laws is the liability of physicians for medical procedures. Based on evidence from the Holy Quran, the Sunnah, and Islamic texts, physicians' actions essentially entail criminal liability if they result in harm, except in cases where the physician has not committed a mistake or is legally and religiously acquitted. However, there is one case not explicitly mentioned in the law: when the patient's condition is critical or inevitably fatal.
This article aims to examine the legitimacy or illegitimacy of diagnostic or therapeutic procedures in such cases, from the perspective of professional standards, principles of medical ethics, and criminal law. It also addresses the question of criminal liability in the event of a patient's death as a result of procedures that are lethal in nature but were undertaken with the aim of preserving their life. The study results indicate that medical procedures, even with a high probability of death, are considered permissible based on jurisprudential evidence and legal rulings, due to the necessity of preserving the patient's life. They do not entail criminal liability as long as they are not accompanied by malicious intent or clear negligence. Conversely, if a physician refuses to perform a necessary procedure of a lethal nature, and this refusal is accompanied by malice or negligence, they bear criminal liability.
