Fathwa, - Sisters Seeing Male Doctors

Question:
If necessity dictates that a Muslimah be examined by a male physician
should or can her husband be present in the examining room? Also I
take from the Maliki madhhab, however since your site limits itself to
Hanafi and Shafii rulings please recount to me the view of both of
these respected madhhab.
Answer:
In the name of Allah, The Most All-Knowing, The Wise
When one genuinely cannot see a doctor of the same sex, then one may
see one of the opposite sex. However, one cannot be alone with them in
a closed room: there needs to be a third person (such as one�s spouse)
present.
