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 Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

 

We have already clarified the ruling on male doctors treating women and female doctors treating men, whether in x-rays or else. We clarified that it is not permissible for a male doctor to treat a woman in a manner that he can see what is forbidden for him to look at from her body except in case of dire necessity; the same thing applies in regard to a female doctor treating a man.

For more benefit, please refer to Fataawa 81316 and 88843. 

Allaah Knows best.
