Permissibility for women to study medicine PDF Print E-mail
Question:
My name is Sister xxxx and i am applying for university this year, i wish to apply to study Medicine, however i was unsure about the shariah concerning the study of a subject where students have to undergo activities such as; Autopsies, human disection and touching male patients; hence seeing people's awrah. Please advice me in the best way with references to hadith (if possible) and islamic shariah law
Answer:

Assalam o alaikum,
Muslims do need female doctors, especially for the treatment of ladies. To become a doctor, you have to go through all such topics as you mentioned. It is a necessity because there is no other way to learn medicine. Sometime you have to tolerate a lesser evil to avoid a bigger one. So you can study in a medical college, preferably in a women college if available and then, after graduating, just treat the women only.

Wassalam,
