A woman going to a hospital for delivery while all doctors are men

Q 1: What is the ruling on women being admitted to a hospital for delivery given that all the doctors in the hospital are males?


A: It is not permissible for male doctors to undertake the delivery of babies except in cases of necessity. For instance, if the woman's life is endangered and no female doctor is available. Allah (Exalted be He) says, ...except under compulsion of necessity May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
