Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a question about the ruling on a female doctor treating a man who is not a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to her.
Answer:
This is not permissible. Men are treated by men, and women are treated by women. This is the obligatory course of action, except in cases of dire necessity. If there is a dire necessity, such as a sick man for whom there is no one to treat him except a woman, she treats him out of dire necessity. The same applies in the reverse case: a sick woman for whom there is no one to treat her, and there is danger from her illness, and no one can treat her except a man; he treats her out of dire necessity. However, as long as there is no need for women to treat men or men to treat women, this is not permissible. Yes.
