Natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes, along with human-made incidents like vehicle accidents and the sudden adverse effects of various illnesses, occur daily. Governments have formulated numerous measures to address the negative impacts of such events and diseases; however, the challenge remains that humanitarian and medical organizations cannot always provide timely assistance to victims of disasters or patients. In some cases, the number of rescuers and medical personnel is insufficient to handle the situation. In such circumstances, paying attention to the scene of the accident and the emergence of illness effects is not without benefit. For example, at accident scenes, in addition to those who are injured, there may be others who were not involved in the accident or who, if they were, have emerged unharmed and are capable of quickly assisting their injured fellow humans. This early assistance often saves lives; whereas, if the potential helper were to waste time waiting for medical teams and rescue services, the injured individual might not survive. The legal framework of common law concerning assistance is encapsulated in an institution known as “the Good Samaritan, ” which bears undeniable similarities to the approach taken in Islamic jurisprudence regarding this matter. In Islamic jurisprudence, the basis for supporting such individuals is the principle of “ehsan” (benevolence), which, similar to the common law principle of the Good Samaritan, is applied in the interest of supporting these individuals rather than through coercion.
