The ruling on a male doctor examining women and the invalidation of wudu'
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I work as a doctor in a medical facility and I examine men and women. It happens that while performing my duties with women, my desire is stirred despite my struggling against it, and this happens to me very often. What is the ruling on my wudu' while I am in this state, and what do you advise me?
Answer:
First, it is not permissible for men to examine women, even if the desire is not stirred, because this is a means to fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). Women are examined by female doctors, and men are examined by male doctors. It is not permissible to do the opposite due to the fitnah involved. If the desire is stirred, that is more severe. And if the desire is accompanied by touching the woman's skin directly, this invalidates the wudu'. It invalidates the wudu'. Touching a woman with desire invalidates the wudu' if it is direct contact without a barrier. In any case, do not do this work. Stay away from it; keep your work with men specifically. Yes.
