Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible for a woman to undress for a doctor to examine her? Is a female doctor better? And is there a sin on me if I take my wife to a male doctor and leave the female doctor?
Answer:
As long as there is a specialized female doctor, it is not permissible for you to go to a male doctor, and this will come, if Allah wills. It is not permissible to treat a woman with a male doctor except in dire necessity, if no female doctor is found, and it is not permissible to treat a man with a female doctor except in dire necessity, if no specialized male doctor is found. And if it is permissible due to dire necessity, the doctor is allowed to examine only the place of treatment. He examines only the place of treatment, and does not go beyond the place of need. Yes.
