Legal Notice - Compendium

Nature of the Publication

The HAKIM Ramadan Compendium is a professional information and guidance publication by HAKIM e.V. Its contents serve exclusively for general information and continuing education. They constitute neither individual medical advice nor a specific treatment instruction and do not establish a physician-patient relationship. The use of this compendium does not give rise to a treatment contract, an advisory relationship or any other contractual relationship between the user and HAKIM e.V. or the persons involved in its preparation.

Medical Content

The medical content presented, including therapeutic principles, dosage information and pharmacological notes, has been compiled with the utmost care on the basis of available scientific findings and current specialist literature. No guarantee is given for its currency, accuracy, completeness or clinical applicability in individual cases. In particular, dosage information, risk classifications and pharmacological recommendations serve solely as professional guidance and do not constitute a binding treatment instruction. They cannot and are not intended to replace individual medical assessment or the consideration of comorbidities, concomitant medication and the individual risk profile. Diagnostic and therapeutic decisions may be made exclusively on the basis of an individual medical examination and assessment. Responsibility for applying or not applying the content lies solely with the treating physician or the person acting in each case. The compendium does not replace a medical consultation. In the event of health complaints or uncertainty, qualified medical advice must be sought. In emergencies, medical help must be sought without delay.

Islamic Legal Content

The Islamic legal assessments contained herein constitute professionally reasoned guidance. They are not to be understood as a binding ruling on an individual case (Fatwa) or as a legally binding religious directive, and they do not replace individual advice from qualified religious authorities. The assessment may vary depending on the context, the school of jurisprudence, the individual circumstances and the judgement of the scholar consulted. Where the text presents certain Islamic legal positions as preferable, this reflects the professional assessment of the authors and is not a statement binding for the individual case.

Limitation of Liability

HAKIM e.V. and the authors involved in the preparation are liable in accordance with the statutory provisions for damage arising from injury to life, body or health and for damage based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty. Otherwise, liability for slight negligence is excluded insofar as no material contractual obligations are affected. Since the use of the compendium does not establish a contractual relationship, liability for simple negligence is in principle excluded to the extent permitted by law. Liability for indirect damage, consequential damage or financial loss is excluded to the extent permitted by law. The above limitations of liability also apply in favour of the authors and advisers involved in the preparation.

Currency and Right to Make Changes

Medical knowledge is continuously evolving. HAKIM e.V. reserves the right to amend, supplement or remove the contents of this compendium at any time without separate notice. There is no obligation to update them. The reader is advised to verify independently whether the content presented is up to date, in particular with regard to dosage information and medical guidelines.

Copyright

The content published in this compendium is subject to German copyright law. Reproduction, distribution or any other exploitation beyond the limits of copyright law requires the prior written consent of HAKIM e.V.
