The answer

If there is no dialysis center specifically for women, there is no sin upon a woman who needs it to go to mixed-gender centers. If female nurses are not available, there is no sin upon a male nurse to perform the procedure. There is no sin upon her to go alone if she is safe from temptation and unlawful situations, such as the presence of trustworthy female nurses who prevent (private seclusion with a non- man). The Lawgiver has removed hardship from His followers and linked obligation with ability. In cases of dire necessity, looking at and touching for treatment are permissible, even the private parts, so that prohibition does not lead to hardship. It is permissible for a man to be in seclusion with two trustworthy women who observe proper , and this is the relied-upon opinion.
