What is the ruling regarding my being compelled to expose my body to male non-Muslim doctors to ascertain my well-being in the context of applying for a job, and what is required of me by way of expiation for this act?

If you have gone to these doctors without seeking a female doctor, you have committed a sin and must repent and seek forgiveness. Allah the Almighty said: (And whoever does evil or wrongs himself then seeks forgiveness of Allah will find Allah Forgiving and Merciful) [An-Nisa: 110]. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "O Aisha, if you have committed a sin, then seek Allah's forgiveness, for repentance from sin is remorse and seeking forgiveness."
