Working in a hospital with free mixing of men and women and seclusion with a nurse
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: I am a doctor and I work in one of the hospitals, and there is in it a degree of free mixing of men and women that only Allah knows about. For most of the time, I am unable to forbid the evil, and sometimes seclusion occurs between me and the nurse without intention. So what do you advise me to do? I ask you to make supplication for me that Allah may protect me from the evil of these trials, for I am in dire need of that.
Answer:
My brother, Allah has not obligated you to remain in this job. Seek work in a different field. Move. Seek a position other than this job, even if it is less than your current position, even if it is lower than your current position. Move from the place of danger to the place of safety. Whoever fears Allah, He will make a way out for him and provide for him from where he does not expect. Even if you lose your job and no job remains for you, the means of provision are many. Sell and buy, work, become a craftsman, and earn a living. This is better for you than a job that drags you into a decrease in your religion and puts your honor at risk.
We ask Allah, Mighty and Majestic, to guide everyone to good speech and action, and to accept repentance from us, from you, and from all Muslims. And may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions.
