The State provides free health care for all, but it does not prevent the use of private medical care or the sale of medicine.

Healthcare is part of the interests and utilities which the people cannot do without and so it is considered to be from the essentials. The Messenger (pbuh) ordered people to take treatment:

. جَاءَ أَعْرَابِ ي فَ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَنَ تَدَاوَى؟ قَالَ: نَ عَمْ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ ي نُْزِلْ دَاءً « » إِلاَّ أَنْ زَلَ لَهُ شِفَاءً، عَلِمَهُ مَنْ عَلِمَهُ وَجَهِلَهُ مَنْ جَهِلَه .

“A Bedouin came and said: O Messenger of Allah (pbuh), should I make use of medical treatment? He replied: Make use of medical treatment, for Allah (swt) has not made a disease without appointing a remedy for it, the one who knows it knows it and the one who is ignorant of it is ignorant of it” (reported by Ahmad from Usama Bin Shareek). And in another version from Al- Tabarani in Al-Mu’jam Al-Kabir, reported from Usamam b. Sharik:

. فَأَتَاهُ نَاسٌ مِنَ الأَعْرَابِ فَسَأَلُوهُ، فَ قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ ،كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ « .» اللَّهِ، أَنَ تَدَاوَى؟ قَالَ: نَ عَمْ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَمْ ي نُْزِلْ دَاءً إِلا أَنْ زَلَ لَهُ شِفَاء .

“We were with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh), when some desert Arabs came. They asked: Messenger of Allah (pbuh), should we make use of medical treatment? He replied: Make use of medical treatment, for Allah (swt) has not made a disease without appointing a remedy for it.”. And in Al-Tirmidhi also from Usamah b. Sahrik with the wording:

. قَالَتْ الأَعْرَابُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَلا نَ تَدَاوَى؟ قَالَ: ن عََمْ، يَا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ تَدَاوَوْا، « فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَضَعْ دَاءً إِلا وَضَعَ لَهُ شِفَاءً، أَوْ قَالَ دَوَاءً إِلا دَاءً وَاحِدًا، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ » اللَّهِ، وَمَا هُوَ؟ قَالَ: ا لْهَرَم .

“Some Bedouins asked: 'O Messenger of Allah (pbuh) (s.a.w) shall we treat (our ill)?' He said: 'Yes, O worshipers of Allah (swt)! Use remedies. For indeed Allah (swt) did not make a disease but He made a cure for it' - or - 'a remedy. Except for one disease.' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah (pbuh) (s.a.w)! What is it?' He said: 'Old age.'”, and Al-Tirmidhi said this narration is Hasan Sahih. Al226 Haram (Elderliness) is the end of life, which is usually followed by death.
