Nothing above Allah. Religion before life. This is Islam.

A Muslim doctor in Kyrgyzstan is under criticism after he put his professional duty on hold, making an epileptic toddler wait for treatment while he prayed.

“Doctor refuses to treat epileptic toddler till after Muslim prayer time”

RT, January 11, 2017

A doctor in Kyrgyzstan came under heavy criticism for turning his back on a two-year-old patient with epilepsy, saying it was time for his Muslim prayers and he could only see the toddler after finishing them.

The news broke after local Health Ministry press service consultant Elena Bayalinova wrote about the incident on her Facebook page.

“Already religion is practically ruling over the family institution in our country; we can already see the problem of irresponsible polygamous marriages and abandoned children. We mustn’t allow for it to compromise people’s health as well. Administrative penalties are not enough. I ask for the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Kyrgyzstan to pay their attention to this incident,”Bayalinova wrote. The entry was later removed, however.

Local journalist Hulkar Isamova then stepped in to say that the child had been one of her relatives and that the doctor in question, as well as the hospital’s chief physician, have since apologized to her family.

“He asked for some time to pray, explaining that the little girl was conscious and active,” Isaimova said in an interview with Vecherniy Bishkek news outlet.

A PR representative for the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Kyrgyzstan (SAMK) condemned the doctor’s decision:

“In any case the doctor should have examined the child first before heading to prayer. Sharia law doesn’t prohibit praying after the work is finished. The doctor was wrong in this particular situation,” Maksat Atabaev said.

A wave of condemnation followed on social media, with both religious and secular online commentators taking the side of the mistreated child.

“Because of this people think bad of Islam” one commenter wrote, while joining many others in calling on the hospital administration to fire the pious physician.
