Is it permissible for a woman to go to the doctor without a mahram, or to go with her mother or sister?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a woman to go to the doctor without a mahram, given that there is a nurse inside the doctor's room, or to go with another woman such as her mother or sister? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The presence of a mahram is safer, more cautious, and more complete. However, if there is no seclusion between her and the doctor, and if a nurse is present or if women are with her who remove the seclusion, then the matter is lighter in that regard, if Allah wills. But having a mahram with her is always more cautious and more complete. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
