Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a woman to uncover her face out of necessity at work, such as for cooling, if the doctor is a woman?
Answer:
A woman does not uncover her face for work. Rather, she covers her face, and there is no harm in her showing her eyes or one eye for work; there is no harm in that. However, uncovering her face is not permissible, and work is not an excuse for exposing oneself. A woman works in medicine with women, with women, and there are many female patients. If women treat women, that is a great aspect, and men treat men, which is also a great aspect. It is obligatory for Muslims to organize their affairs according to this methodology. As for following the methodology of the disbelievers, mixing men and women, with no distinction between a man and a woman, this is not permissible for Muslims.
