The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman asks, saying that she is a doctor in Europe and is consulted for some illnesses in children. She goes to the children in their homes. She says that sometimes the father is present during the treatment of the child with his mother at that consultation. Is this work permissible for me, and is it permissible for the father to be present during my treatment?
The Shaykh:
The presence of the father, yes. Repeat the question.
