I am a momina of 45 years of age residing in chennai(INDIA).I had undergone surgery for remaval of stones in my gall bladder.as the operation was not performed properly i had developed complications after the operation.i had to undergo another surgery in another hospital to rectify this complication.i had to spend a lakh of rupee for this second operation.in addition i had to undergo physical and mental torture because of the negligence of the doctor who performed the first operation.as such i have decided to go to the conumer court nad file a case against the doctor and hospital..
Now my question is 1.if i am awarded a compensation of say 5 lack rupees though the actual amount spent by me will be rs.1.25 lacks for the second operation will the balance amount of 3.75 lacks be haram or halal..

It would be permissible to pursue the negligence lawsuit, and claim any monies awarded.
