Is it permissible for a Muslim male physician to deliver a baby for a Muslim woman?

Is it permissible for a Muslim male physician to deliver a baby for a Muslim woman? Is it permissible for a non-Muslim female physician to deliver a baby for a Muslim woman? Is it permissible for a non-Muslim male physician to deliver a baby for a Muslim woman?

Answer:

(Fatwa: 2008/318=TB/1429)

A Muslim woman should go to a lady doctor for delivery whether the lady doctor is a Muslim or non-Muslim. If somewhere there is no lady doctor then in exigent cases she can go to male doctor too whether he is a Muslim or non-Muslim.
