Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: Is it permissible for a woman to be treated by male doctors if they are the best?
Answer:
It is not permissible except out of dire necessity, if there is no female doctor. If it is only a man, she is treated by the man out of dire necessity, if she fears harm to herself, there is nothing wrong with it[Al-An'am 6:119]. As long as there are qualified female doctors who are good at treatment, it is not permissible for her to be treated by men. Likewise, it is not permissible for a man to be treated by a woman, except if there is no skilled male doctor and he is in dire need of treatment, then he is treated out of dire necessity. Yes.
