Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on working in a mixed-gender place, such as hospitals, provided one lowers his gaze to the best of his ability?

Do not praise yourself by saying, "I lower my gaze." Stay away from them, and be with the men, not with the women. Do not be lenient in this matter.
