Parental authority to refuse medical intervention.. Parental objection must be taken seriously in the absence of urgency, or when medical intervention involves a significant amount of risk



Islam urged the good education of children and the proper growth of their children, not only physically and psychologically but also morally, mentally and decadently.
It has been proven that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "It is enough for a person to commit a sin to lose someone who can not stand."
If the parents refuse without legitimate justification medical intervention in the case of necessity, which requires expeditious implementation to save the health or life of the young, the origin does not depend on the rejection of parents.
Some justify the admissibility of a physician's intervention despite parents' objections to this, that the life and health of children is not a pure right of the parents, but a right of society as a whole, which requires the preservation of the lives and safety of individuals.
It should be emphasized that parents' objection to medical work must be taken seriously in the absence of urgency, when medical intervention involves a significant amount of risk, or when its purpose is essentially non-therapeutic, in which case the physician's intervention is unlawful and entails liability Oh.
