Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man works as a dentist outside this country, and he says that most of those who come to him are women. A man works as a dentist, and most of those who come to him are women, some of them without a mahram. His question is: Is the money I earn considered halal? Because I would like to perform Hajj?
Answer:
By Allah, it is not pure, and seclusion is not permissible. And this is a fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). It is obligatory that there be female doctors for women’s clinics, and male clinics for men; this is what is obligatory upon Muslims, and this involves fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). And performing Hajj with money that is free from doubt is better and more cautious. Yes.
