A man treating a woman and exposing her

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And other than that, that what is prescribed in the religion is permissible for men, whether Muslim or non-Muslim, upon Islam, especially since they are in places of consequences for people, even though all of them are inside without their children, there is a building of complaints from Muslims and others.

Answer:
It is not permissible for a man to treat a woman and expose her except in cases of dire necessity, in cases of dire necessity if there is no female doctor and the woman’s condition is critical such that if she is not treated, she will die from the exposure, then it is permissible for the doctor to expose her. Another point: as for where there are female doctors in hospitals that have female doctors and clinics that have female doctors, it is not permissible for a man to examine a woman, whether he is a Muslim or a disbeliever, and the reverse is the same: it is not permissible for a woman to treat a man except in cases of dire necessity. As long as there are male doctors who treat men and women who treat women.
