Please, I need help/advise urgently. Seems people prefer money over human life.

My fiancé was in a serious car accident and is in critical condition in a coma. He needs urgent surgery.
I have no job, I am searching for work. I have no money.
I have heard that it IS/IS NOT permissible to take a loan(with interest) for HUMANITERIAN reasons. For saving a persons life.
My fiancés aunt said it was permissible. I want to help. I don’t know what to do. I don’t think I could even get a loan because I have no money.

The hospital keeps asking for money and will only do surgery if we have the money. Not only is there a cost for surgery, but the cost of keeping my fiancé alive, and then recovery after, inshAllah.

I think this is the worst situation in my life. I feel all alone. I have thought about suicide so much because it seems no one will help. I will NOT commit suicide, but my life feels miserable.
My family won’t help me, they aren’t being so supportive.

I thank Allah that out of this terrible situation; I have become a better Muslim, even though I’m sad. My faith has become stronger; I’m behaving as a better Muslim than I was. I know Allah is testing us.

All I can do is try to kindly ask for help/advice, and pray that Allah will grant my fiancé health.

Thank you.

Salam.

Two questions:

What country are you in? In virtually every country free medical help is available for those unable to pay. but you do need to know how to apply for ti,

Second how long has he been in a coma and what did his last EEG reading look like?

wa alaykum us-Salaam
doesnt your fiance have a family to help him out?

It is illegal in medical ethics to not offer treatment to someone because of financial reasons. The hospital can lose its privileges to practice and be shut down.. If I were you I'd call the news and make a thing out of it, you actually have a right to sue in such a case.. I have never heard of such nonsense ..

They will do the surgery to save lives but they wont discharge the patient from the hospital until the money is paid. Making the patient a prisoner in the hospital
