It is permissible for a Muslim man to perform on a non- woman, provided he adheres to the guidelines, such as avoiding seclusion () and refraining from touching or looking at the non-mahram woman except out of necessity. Evidence for this permissibility includes the narrated by Ibn Abbas in the Sahihayn concerning a woman who used to have epileptic fits and would become uncovered, and the hadith in Muslim: "Whoever among you can benefit his brother, let him do so."
