Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner asks: Why is there no coordination between the Presidency of Ifta, the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, and the Ministry of Health, to compel female doctors to wear the Islamic hijab, even the disbelievers among them? Because many of them expose themselves, work with men, and perhaps treat men, so they have become a great trial.
Answer:
Currently, religious affairs have been established in the Ministry of Health, praise be to Allah. We hope that they will fulfill their duty and provide awareness in the hospitals, and that they will make a good effort, if Allah wills. We are optimistic about the establishment of this body or these religious affairs. Because these religious affairs have been of benefit in the other ministries and have had a positive impact, and this is something for which this blessed state is to be thanked. Among the things that have been established recently is religious affairs in the Ministry of Health. We ask Allah to grant them sincere men and to make them beneficial, if Allah wills. Yes.
