Wa `alaykum As-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh

 

Studying medicine is a communal obligation on all Muslims. People must study medicine to cure their diseases. A medical doctor can touch the body a woman in case of necessity or in a dire need. There are some hadiths on the Prophet’s permission to men to conduct cupping for women. Therefore, there is no problem of touching patients by bare hands. If there is a possibility of wearing gloves, you should do that.

 

Almighty Allah knows best.
