Special Needs School job.

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by ShariahBoard.org

Assalamualaikum,

I work at a special needs school for autistic students. It is both boys and girls school. I sometimes have to take boy students to the bathroom. Some know how to do everything in the bathroom. I just stand far. But some need diaper change and i have to help with the changing sometimes. Does this make my job haram? Please let me know asap. Jazakallah

There is room to provide this service at the time of need and compulsion. The job doesn’t become Haraam due to providing this service. However, make sure to use gloves while providing this service, don’t touch the private parts without any medium between your hands and the private parts. As much as you can keep your gaze down. Glance can be cast per necessity but not any longer, as soon as the disabled person has relieved himself cover the private parts immediately.
