Question What is the permissibility of being a male nurse in a non muslim country? Im currently studying to become a nurse and I’m worried about several things concerning this career.

Question
Praise be to Allah.
Firstly:
The basic principle is that medical treatment of women should
be done by female doctors and nurses; if there are no female doctors or
nurses, it is permissible for them to be treated by a man, but that should
be in accordance with Islamic guidelines as mentioned in the answer to
question no. 127491
Secondly:
Free mixing between men and women is a great evil that leads
to serious negative consequences in both religious and worldly terms.
Similarly, work that involves serving pork and haraam drinks to people is
not permissible, because it comes under the heading of cooperating in sin
and transgression.
See the answer to question no.

Thirdly:
According to what the questioner mentioned in his question,
this work is haraam and is not permissible, for the following reasons:
1.haraam mixing between men and
women in school and work
2.offering pork and haraam drinks
to patients
3.uncovering of ‘awrahs and
touching them unnecessarily, as there are women around who can do these
tasks
4.taking part in activities that
include singing, music and mixing
5.treating women and taking care
of them when there are female nurses who could do that.
What you must do is look for work that is appropriate for
you, far removed from things that are contrary to Islam, and choose the best
and the next best, according to what you can do.
For information on some of the Islamic rulings that doctors
and their helpers must know, please see the answer to question no.
