A Woman Going to a Male Doctor for an Examination

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible for a woman to go to a male doctor for him to examine her and for her to expose part of her body to him, on the grounds that he is a skilled doctor or that his fee is lower than that of others?

The Shaykh:
If a female doctor is available, it is not permissible for her to be examined by a male doctor; rather, she should be examined by a woman. Yes.

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.

The Shaykh:
Praise be to Allah. Hospitals and clinics have female doctors who make men unnecessary. Yes.
