The Details of the Question
- I am a female dentist. Is it a sin for me to treat male patients?
- Is it wrong for me as a female dentist to treat male patients?
The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
Treatment is a necessity. It is frequently not possible to choose a doctor outside of a private hospital or clinic.
Under these circumstances, it is permissible for a male or female dentist to treat a patient of the opposite sex, or for the patient to be treated under these circumstances.
As a result of wearing gloves during treatment, there is no skin-to-skin contact.
It holds true for other medical professionals too.
