The questioner : May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh. I have a question and a request for clarification of a previous answer, if possible. I am a guest from Riyadh.
The Shaykh : Fine.
The questioner : The first question: A male doctor who recently graduated wants to specialize in women’s diseases and obstetrics. What is the ruling on that?
The Shaykh : What I see is that he should not do it; his specialization should be in matters related to men. Because a man specializing in matters related to women is a great trial, and he is to be feared that he will be led astray in his religion, destroying his religion for the sake of his worldly life. Yes.
