Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A girl who is approximately twenty-six years old, who wears the hijab—may Allah reward her for that—and works as a nurse in a clinic, treating the wounded and also administering injections to people, both men and women, which necessitates touching the patient to treat him. She says: This is my work; I have no other source of livelihood. Is there anything wrong with my work, O honorable Shaykh? Please inform us, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : There is nothing wrong with her work, because when the need calls for a woman to nurse a man, there is no harm in that, whether it requires her to touch him or not. However, she should wear gloves on her hands so that she does not touch the men directly.
The questioner : May Allah bless you, O honorable Shaykh.
