Woman going to a female doctor

Submitted by user2 on Sat, 2023-03-11 07:53

Q: If my wife wants to go to the dr , but the dr is a female and I do not want her to go to a female dr because I do not support women being out of the home and the way the studies go on in universities, Is it fine if I get her checked by a male dr and only expose the parts she needs to get checked up by cutting out the material of an old garment under my supervision? Will this be fine or must she rather see a female dr?

A: The shar`ee procedure is that if there is a Muslim female doctor available then you will go to her, and if there is no female Muslim doctor then a female non-Muslim doctor.

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