Question: Are there no reports of blessed Ṣaḥābiyyāt رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُنَّ treating patients during Jihad? If there are then why are nurses not allowed to treat patients?
Answer: The purpose of those Ṣaḥābiyyāt رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُنَّ was to attain Paradise but the goal of these nurses is to attain wealth; they strictly observed veil but in this profession unveiling is usually a condition; and there is a massive difference between a battle-field and a hospital. Even today, if Jihad became Farḍ-e-‘Ayn [absolutely compulsory] then adult men and wives must take part in war even if their parents or husbands do not allow them; whereas this is not the case in hospitals. However, if it is possible for her to fulfill all the previous conditions then it is permissible for her to work as a nurse.
Question: Is there any case in which it is permissible for a woman to work as a nurse?
Answer: Supposing there is a hospital in which there is no un-veiling at all, or situations where she does not touch, inject, tie a bandage etc. to any non-Maḥram man and there is also no other Islamic reason of prohibition then being a nurse is permissible.
