Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on a non-mahram woman uncovering her hijab in front of a doctor? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Uncovering is permissible, not in front of a doctor or a wife, except in cases of dire necessity, such as an illness in the face, leg, or hand, and if a suitable female doctor is not found. It is limited to dire necessity. He said:
Allah has been mentioned while He has explained in detail to you what He has forbidden you, excepting that to which you are compelledاللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَقَدْ فَصَّلَ لَكُم مَّا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِلَّا مَا اضْطُرِرْتُمْ إِلَيْهِ
[Al-An'am 6:119]
If a good female doctor is found, keep it from the man.
