This study looks at social injustices faced by forced migrants in Malaysia from Islamic justice and ethics perspectives. Malaysia’s status as a non-signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention has resulted in the absence of legal recognition of forced migrants. This status exposes them to arrest, deportation, and severely limits their access to healthcare. Other healthcare barriers they face include financial constraints, discrimination from healthcare providers, and language obstacles. The support from United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees remains restricted without official state recognition. To explore further, two case studies were conducted involving Rohingya refugees who required emergency treatment at government hospitals. The findings manifest the presence of social injustices, notably exorbitant healthcare fees and discriminatory behavior by healthcare providers. Despite Islam being the religion of the federation, fundamental Islamic principles do not appear to play a role in certain doctor’s responses to forced migrants. A comparative analysis by Abou-El-Wafa highlighted strong parallels between the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Islamic Law regarding the treatment of forced migrants. Islam emphasizes the duty of Muslims to treat refugees fairly, independent of ratification of the state or its legislation. Islamic medical ethics, rooted in Islamic Sciences (Fiqh), obligates Muslim doctors to uphold justice and compassion in their practice. Muslim doctors are called to reaffirm the foundational Islamic ethical principles that advocate fair treatment for all, irrespective of their social status or citizenship. Positioned as advocates for prosocial change, doctors should actively champion social justice and human rights within the healthcare system.
