Sisters Seeing Male Doctors

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Qibla.com

Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

If necessity dictates that a Muslimah be examined by a male physician should or can her husband be present in the examining room? Also I take from the Maliki madhhab, however since your site limits itself to Hanafi and Shafii rulings please recount to me the view of both of these respected madhhab.

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

In the name of Allah, The Most All-Knowing, The Wise

When one genuinely cannot see a doctor of the same sex, then one may see one of the opposite sex. However, one cannot be alone with them in a closed room: there needs to be a third person (such as one’s spouse) present.
