I think my friend is wrong and I want an honest answer from someone. He told me that Muslims are required by their faith to wait a certain amount of time before administering first aid to accident victims, in order to see if Allah will take them first. I just want to know if this is an actual practice. It seems like a contradiction to not administer first aid as soon as possible and could make ERT personnel vulnerable to huge lawsuits. Someone please answer this truthfully.
