Is it true that you said it is not permissible for a woman to go to a male doctor, even if she is forced to go to a female disbeliever?

The questioner : May Allah reward you. A questioner asks: Did you, O honorable Shaykh, issue a fatwa stating that it is not permissible for a Muslim woman to go to a doctor, even if he is Muslim, even if she is forced to go to a female disbeliever?
The Shaykh : We have not issued this fatwa. It is permissible for a woman to go to a doctor when there is a need, but on the condition that her mahram (a relative one may not marry) is with her, so that the doctor does not remain alone with her. Otherwise, there is no doubt that if a woman needs to be treated by a man, we do not say that this is forbidden. Many things are attributed to us, so we ask Allah to help the scholars against the ignorant. Yes.
