What is the ruling on some laboratory employees at the Ministry of Health evading payment of analysis fees for their relatives and acquaintances, and what is the ruling on receiving and taking samples from them without payment of fees? Is it sufficient to inform the employer of this without preventing this theft?

It is not permissible to conduct tests without paying their fees. You did well by clearing the fees and avoiding taking samples for which the owners had not paid, and we hope you are rewarded for protecting public funds. The officials must be informed to take appropriate measures to prevent evasion. You must prevent theft if possible, without harm to yourself or a greater evil resulting. However, if you fear harm to yourself or a greater evil results, then you are not obliged to prevent it, and informing the officials is sufficient.
