Description:
The Irish Hospice Foundation is very grateful to Ali Selim, General Secretary of the Irish Council of Imams for his generous co-operation with the editing of this booklet. It is an adapted version of “Care of the Muslim Patient” which had been thoroughly and thoughtfully prepared by Dr Zahir Shah Afridi and colleagues arising from discussions with the Care for People Dying in Hospital Project. The project was initiated by The Irish Hospice Foundation in partnership with Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda, Co Louth.This booklet intends to facilitate health and hospital workers unfamiliar with Islam in their treatment of the Muslim patient. It looks at the religious life of observant Muslims, their views on the family, marriage, maternity and birth, as well as dress, diet, fasting, health practices and end-of-life care.
