What are the Islamic requisites when a male doctor examines a female patient?

Answer

If necessary, and a female doctor is not available, then it is permissible for a male doctor to treat a woman. It will be haraam for the woman to expose more of her body than what is absolutely necessary. Her entire body, including the face must be covered. It is explained in the kitaabs that she should dress in an old garment and cut out from the garment the amount which will expose the part to be treated. Thus, if a doctor has to attend to a specific wound, then that part of the garment covering the wound should be cut open. It will not be permissible, for example, for the woman to roll up her whole sleeve if the wound is on her upper arm. Her whole arm must remain covered, and the dress must be cut to expose only the wound.
