The Ruling on Medical Students Examining Women in the Hospital

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says: I am studying in the Faculty of Medicine, and we are required to examine women during our hospital shifts. This is mandatory for every student. What is the ruling on this?

Answer:
By Allah, this is not good. This is not good. It is obligatory that women be treated by women and men by men. Muslims are capable of this; they are capable of placing men’s medicine in the hands of men and women’s medicine in the hands of women. Muslims are capable of it. As for the disbelievers, they do not care about this, and they have no objection to free mixing. The disbelievers have no objection to free mixing, but Muslims must distinguish this matter and appoint female doctors for women and male doctors for men. Female medical students examine women, and male medical students examine men. Yes.
