Is it permissible for a man to work as a doctor for women?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

However, he must fear Allah in his profession by not being alone with women (khalwa), not uncovering their awrah (private parts) more than necessary, and not directly performing procedures that women can perform themselves, all while being mindful of Allah's constant observation.
