A man administering an injection to a woman when a female doctor is unavailable
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The fifth question of Fatwa No. ( 7539 )
Q 5: Whatis the ruling on administering injections to women, especially since it is sometimes difficult to find a Muslim woman in the neighborhood to perform this task, and perhaps there is a Muslim woman who can perform this task, but in a place that is not close, and if a disbelieving woman is found, is it better for this disbelieving woman to administer the injections to the women, or is it better for a Muslim man to take charge of it?
A 5: The principle in this matter is that Muslim women should take charge of administering injections to women. If it is difficult to find a Muslim female doctor, then a disbelieving female doctor is acceptable. If she is unavailable and dire necessity calls for a Muslim male doctor to take charge of it, then there is no harm.
And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
