I go to the hospital frequently and expose my face to the doctor, and I do not take the medication he prescribes for me. Is there a sin on me?

The questioner : A female questioner says, "May your excellence...The Shaykh : I go to the hospital frequently. I expose my face to the doctor, and I do not take the medication he prescribes for me. Is there a sin on me?

The Shaykh : Glory be to Allah! This is not permissible. She should not go to the doctor and expose her face to him, as long as he prescribes medication for her and she does not use it. What is the benefit? But if she has a genuine need, there is no harm in the doctor examining what requires looking at it, on the condition that he does not be alone with her. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
No person should be alone with a woman except when there is a Mahram with her لا يخلون رجل بامرأة إلا ومعها ذو محرم
Sahih Muslim 1341a
. That is the last question, as the time has now run out, and I do not wish to burden you by keeping you detained. Yes.
