Fathwa, - Her male teacher holds her hands during dental training

Question
Aoa, i am a 20 yr old female dental student and sometimes the male
teachers hold our hands to control our shaking in the pateint's mouth
while giving anesthesia and to teach us the exact direction n pressure
v need to apply. Apart from dat the male teachers also hold our hand
to make us do palpation of the patient properly.wat is the ruling for
this? are we allowed to atttend these classes since without them we
cannot pass our professional exams or even be good dentists since
fiddling with the intruments would make the anesthesia ineffective and
also a chance that we prick our ownselves.how ever this teaching by
holding is only transient till we learn the proper tchnique.wat is the
ruling on this what should we do in such cases?plz excuse the lenght
of my question.JAZAAKALLAH.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that
Muhammadis His slave and Messenger.
It is not permissible for a man to touch a non-Mahram woman's hands or
any other parts of her body. It is confirmed that the Prophetsaid: "If
one of you were to be stabbed in the head with an iron needle, it
would be better for him than touching a woman whom he is not permitted
to touch." ]At-Tabaraani and Al-Bayhaqi[
Therefore, we advise you to discuss the matter with the people in
charge in the college and clarify to them the religious rulings about
it. You should ask them to provide a female teacher to teach female
girls. If this is achieved, then praise be to Allaah, otherwise if you
are in real need of this training, like being in a case of necessity
or close to it, then you may continue these studies, and if you can
wear gloves and the like, then you are obliged to do so, as this is
the least of two evils. Touching a non-Mahram man with a barrier in
between is a lesser evil than direct touching even though both of them
are evil.
Allaah Knows best.
