Question
My brother's wife has EHS card. Can she take medicine on behalf of me. I mean she can tell doctor to write medicine of me. She has government card but this card is valid if she is in married. But she got married now and she didn't update card details. Can she take medicine of me in her prescription
Islamic Ruling & Answer
VerifiedThe medical benefits provided under the EHS card are restricted to the government employee and those family members whose names are officially registered under the scheme according to its rules. Therefore, if your name is not included in the EHS card, it would not be permissible for your sister-in-law to obtain medicines or medical treatment for you using her name or her card. This is because such benefits are intended only for eligible beneficiaries, and using them for someone who is not entitled to them would be a violation of the scheme's rules and regulations.
Likewise, if the card details are required to be updated after marriage, they should be updated in accordance with the applicable rules. However, if your name is officially registered under the card and the scheme's regulations entitle you to receive these benefits, then there would be no issue in benefiting from them.
