Exposing the Awrah in Front of a Non-Muslim Doctor for Necessity
Is it permissible for a woman to expose her awrah in front of a non-Muslim doctor to receive an intramuscular injection? Knowing that the doctor is experienced, and this injection requires a skilled doctor?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If there is no way to receive treatment from a female doctor, and necessity arises, it is permissible to be uncovered to the extent needed in front of a male relative, for example, in front of a doctor for treatment, and God knows best.
