Is it permissible for a man to work in nursing women?

Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: A person works as a nurse in a hospital, and women come for nursing care. In some cases, he is forced to expose their private parts for treatment. Is that permissible for him? Please give us a ruling, and may Allah reward you. May Allah bless you.

Answer:
It is obligatory for him to work in the men’s section. It is obligatory for this nurse to work in the men’s section and to avoid the women’s section. If there are female nurses, the male nurse does not treat the woman; rather, she is referred to the women. However, if there are no female nurses and the woman is in dire need of treatment, then it is permissible to do so to the extent of the necessity. Allah the Exalted said: . So if there is extreme necessity and there are no female nurses, there is no harm in treating her to the extent of the need and to the extent of the necessity.
