Human beings are exposed to countless extraordinary events provoked by the nature or by themselves. When the available resources fail to satisfy the medical needs of numerous injured people and patients in such circumstances, triage application which means "selecting, sorting" is indispensable. This paper examines the medical ethics evaluation of triage and its position in Islam.
