Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : There are people who call nurses the angels of mercy; what is the ruling on this name, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : This name is forbidden because the angels (peace be upon them) are too noble for their names to be applied to the names of female nurses. Furthermore, this description does not apply to every nurse. How many nurses are there who are poor in their nursing, showing no mercy to a patient and fearing not the Creator (Mighty and Majestic)?
Therefore, the important point is that calling nurses the angels of mercy is forbidden and not permissible. Nor is it permissible to call male nurses the angels of mercy. Yes.
