Medical responsibility and doctors' mistakes are among the topics that have characterized the practice of medicine since ancient times and the development of medical sciences across the ages. These legislations also developed in a manner consistent with the development of medicine. And when Islam came to put in place controls and laws for the practice of medicine, which is the focus of the Prophet peace be upon him "who is tainted and did not know medicine before that is a guarantor." Accordingly, the ancient Arab doctors and scholars of Islamic law set conditions for the doctor's absence in the event of a medical error. There are many forms of medical liability that have been so complicated that it is necessary to re-discuss the development of laws that control the responsibility of a doctor in the event of a mistake and to meet the need to practice medicine in an atmosphere that encourages doctors to perform according to the most modern methods of treatment without compromising the rights of the patient when the error occurs.
