Treatment of a Woman by a Male Doctor
I am veiled and fell ill, and the hospital is far from my home. I had to go to a male doctor in the neighborhood. What is the ruling on my action?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If there is no exposure of private parts in your visit to the doctor, it is permissible; otherwise, you must go to a female doctor, even if it is difficult, and God knows best.
