The Ruling on Free Mixing of Men and Women in Medical Fields
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: I am a son of yours in the Faculty of Medicine, and I have experienced free mixing, and its reality has become clear to me. Is there any guiding word regarding the placement of free mixing in the medical field, and likewise guidance for those who wish to implement free mixing in other fields?
Answer:
It is not permissible, neither in the medical fields nor in any others, because this leads to the loss of modesty and the loss of wisdom, and it leads to the forbidden gaze, and other such dangers. Therefore, it is not permissible, neither in the medical fields nor in any others. Women’s medicine should be separate, and men’s medicine should be separate, and the teaching of women should be separate.
