Sins of the Tongue, - Describing Nurses asAngels of Mercy.

We often read about and hear the common people and their writers and
poets describing nurses as "angels of mercy." Is this permissible?
Praise be to Allah.
It is not permissible to apply this description to nurses, because the
angels are male and are not female. Allah denounced the mushrikeen
(pagans) fordescribing the angels as female. Moreover, the angels of
mercy have their own description which cannot be appliedto nurses, for
there are good and bad nurses, so it is not permissible to apply this
description to them.
And Allah knows best.
