Looking at a diagram of the eye

Submitted by user2 on Tue, 2017-10-24 06:24

Q: I have a few questions about the eye and pictures.

If one is studying how the eye functions and its diseases, is it permissible for one to view the eye? If a diagram of the inner eye is drawn, should one erase it, or is it not necessary considering its not the outer eye part?

Can a woman become an ophthalmologist to treat only females to avoid other females going to male ophthalmologists?

A: If it is only the eye without the face, it is permissible.

On account of the abundant wrong's that are associated with co-educational institutes and universities, we strongly disapprove of women studying in such anti Islamic environment's. For further details refer to http://muftionline.co.za/node/19114

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
