Is it permissible for a female doctor to examine patients and write prescriptions after 2:0 PM at the health unit, even though the law stipulates that only emergency cases are to be handled at this time, in consideration of the needs of the local residents who are accustomed to this practice?
The physician must adhere to labor laws and their regulations, based on the Almighty's saying: "O you who have believed, fulfill [all] contracts," and the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Muslims are bound by their conditions." An exception to this is if the reality that violates labor law is tolerated with the knowledge of the authority responsible for the work.
