فلسفة الدخول الإلزامي للمستشفى مع دراسة موقف الفقه الإسلامي

Abstract EN

There is a long history of state involvement into legal detainment of individuals, suffering from different types of mental disorders.

Police power permits the government to take action necessary to safeguard the welfare of its citizens.

This is done through the doctrine of parens patriae, which allows the state to act on behalf of its disabled citizens in order to care and protect.

This ultimately has to conflict with the personal freedom and the foundation of civil liberty.

A compromised was reached by setting criteria of involuntary hospitalization limit that action to people who meet two conditions, which include: The presence of Mental Illness, secondly danger to self or others, and/or Inability to provide for basic needs.

The rationales of these issues are being discussed, with an exploration of the position taken by some Islamic scholars on these matters.
