Pearl of Wisdom

to 'Abd al-Ra man b. Samura, ?O 'Abd al-Ra man b. Samura, do not ask for authority, for if you were to be given it by asking for it, then you will be entrusted with it to your own self [and held accountable], and if you are given it without having asked for it, then you will be helped with it.'

Prophet Muhammad al-Mustafa [sawa]

Sunan Abi Dawud, v. 3, p. 130, no. 2929

Question : #446

Category: Social Interaction

Subject:	touching females for education
Question:	Some students in the physical medical science study physiotherapy which requires touching the body of a female patient and handling her (body), to the extent required by the illness. Were the student to refuse to do that, he would fail the examination. Is it permissible to study this science and specialize in it?
Answer:	This is permissible for the student if he knows or is confident that his specialization in this (field) is something upon which the preservation of some honored lives depends, even if it be in the future. His practice of physiotherapy should be in such a way that it does not lead to any sexual excitement.
