Mapping potential cultural and religious tensions in end-of-life care for Muslim patients: A scoping review
Ethical tensions in end-of-life care for Muslim patients in Euro-American healthcare settings reflect diverse, context-dependent interpretations of Islamic principles. Addressing these tensions requires early, culturally sensitive engagement and the development of a shared ethical framework in close collaboration with healthcare providers, Muslim chaplains, mosques, imams, and umbrella organizations.
