A woman exposing her body for medical treatment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a woman to expose her body to a nurse or a female doctor for the sake of treating her entire body?
Answer:
Answer: No, this is not permissible, except in a case of dire necessity. Otherwise, it is obligatory for her to cover herself from men and from women as well, except in a case of dire necessity. If she is compelled to expose part of her 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered), let it be only to the extent of the need. And if she finds a female doctor, it is not permissible for her to be treated by a man; rather, the woman suffices for all of this, in order to avert fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and evil.
