Background and Purpose: Medical ethics is a field focused on studying the code of conduct and principles that healthcare practitioners are required to adhere to. The progress of medical knowledge and new methods of biological research have created various ethical conflicts, which necessitate the need to pay attention to medical ethics. Medical ethics in Iran and Islamic civilization have a long history. In the era of Islamic civilization, Rhazes and Qutb al-Din Shirazi, two of the greatest scientists of the Islamic world, pointed out important issues about medical ethics. The purpose of this research is to examine the basics of Rhazes and Qutb al-Din Shirazi's medical ethics.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted based on a descriptive-analytical approach using library research to collect information from historical sources and texts.
Results: In general, Rhazes was known for being a rationalist and Qutb al-Din Shirazi for being a Shariatist and having a God-oriented manner. The results show that Rhazes has paid attention to the topics of physician-patient communication, physician's scientific and practical competence, physician's confidentiality, and patient's beliefs. Qutb al-Din Shirazi has stated the moral requirements of a physician in ten principles.
Conclusion: In general, the examination of the views of Rhazes and Qutb al-Din Shirazi in the field of medical ethics from the perspective of traditional Iranian medicine shows that both Rhazes and Qutb al-Din Shirazi, similar to many doctors bound by ethical principles in the relationship between doctor and patient, consider compliance with ethical principles as a professional requirement. They have paid attention to the issue of medical ethics in various areas, such as behavioral qualifications and specialized treatment issues.
