What is the ruling on a woman going to a male doctor when there is a specialized female doctor available?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

However, if the man is more skilled or his specialization is deeper, there is no harm for her to go to him, even if there is a woman [available]; because this is a necessity, and necessity permits that.
